I don't think we know enough about human brain function to claim that anyone is permanently broken, at least not to the point where we can say for certain that person A is more of a liability than an asset to society. Furthermore, by that logic, anyone who suffers from any kind of addictive of compulsive behavior could also be considered permanently broken.
