| Jan 11, 2019 at 12:13 | comment | added | user96258 | @henning the arguments are practically the same, in my view. The OP seems to suggest that possessing a psychological trait — addiction, in this case — makes his or her research better received. By the same argument, Chinese should do better in China Studies or only women who’ve become pregnant can produce insightful research in obstetrics. I’m pointing out that the quality of the work or suitability of a candidate is not dependent on physical or psychological factors. | |

If anything, they should protect people who suffer from addiction from being discriminated against in the hiring-process. | |
