Reply to comment by jaxnscotch in Man successfully performs gene therapy on himself to cure his lactose intolerance by [deleted]
Digesting lactose is a highly advantageous trait, so lacking it is a genetic disorder. I have met many people who are lactose intolerant and wish that they could digest lactose, but I have never met one person who wished they were lactose intolerant. The inability to produce certain amino acids is also a genetic disorder, and the entire population has it.
