(c) If my addictive behaviour were dangerous to others, do you think it would be OK to change my behaviour against my will? Would it possible?
Yes I think on balance its probably a good idea to restrain people who are a proven danger to others. But that isn't to say that rehabilitation would be impossible during a period of incarceration.
I don't think anyone would disagree with restraint or rehabilitation. What I was really asking was whether it would be OK to use some technique for changing someone's behaviour
against their will. I'm interested in your answer because, if there really is no such thing as free will, then I can't see how it would be wrong to change someone's behaviour against their will. But maybe I'm missing something.
