We review the case for doing such research, and the arguments that addiction does, and does not, prevent addicted persons from consenting to such research. We argue for a more nuanced view that acknowledges that while in some situations addiction impairs decision-making capacity, it does not eliminate such capacity. We conclude with some suggestions for recruiting addicted subjects and designing experiments in ways to obtain free and informed consent.", pages = "209-225(17)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/tandf/gacr/2008/00000015/00000004/art00002" doi = "doi:10.1080/08989620802388689" }
