between stigmatizing destructive behaviors, in a treatment context, and stigmatizing patients in a social (especially medical) context. Unfortunately, persons with behavioral disorders like alcoholism are stigmatized, and not just by the general public (Farrell and Lewis, 1990, Schomerus et al., 2006, To and Vega, 2006). Given that vulnerability to behavioral disorders is under substantial genetic control, our results emphasize the inappropriateness of libertarian attitudes towards these devastating conditions. That is, we humans do not appear equally free in our decisions.
