    Description
    N. Reisinger is a member of the Class of 2013 of Washington and Lee University.
     
    Capstone; [FULL-TEXT FREELY AVAILABLE ONLINE]
     
    Addiction is complex, painful, and ultimately stands as a significant obstacle the alleviation of poverty, and this paper represents but one all too brief attempt at understanding this problem. But I think a good place to start is to recognize that these people whose lives have been shredded by their use of drugs are people nonetheless. We exist alongside them, and it is not merely advantageous but morally imperative that we attempt to alleviate their suffering. [From the concluding section]
