1. Statistically, two in every three American are medically obese today. Should obesity be classified as a disability? What are the implications for businesses hiring obese employees under the ADA?
2. Should substance addiction be classified as a disability? If so, what threshold(s) should be used to substantiate an "addiction"? Does it depend on the kind of substance? For example, should addiction to controlled substances such as alcohol or tobacco be viewed differently under the law (for disability purposes) than addiction to illegal substances? What are the implications for for businesses hiring "addicts"?
