Am I missing something or is it impossible for a male addict to "pass on the dependency to the unborn child, leading to organ and brain damage."?

It's highly likely that there is a genetic component to addiction.

This sounds like eugenics -- and the Wikipedia entry on the charity [0] is also somewhat disturbing. However, is this really any different from handing out free condoms?

I'm not sure.

The genetic component doesn't make you stick a needle in your arm in the first place - so it is irrelevant.
