The paternalistic state does not allow you autonomy over your own body.

e.g the amount of backlash thought emporium got when he genetically engineered himself to remove lactose intolerance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY

Risky, but it's his body!

It's a cool video but it's formatted almost like a tutorial, with folks in the comments appearing excited to actually try it on their own bodies with lab equipment they have access to. It's pretty irresponsible given that I don't think he fully expressed the risks of doing this to your own body.

It's not just risky, it's hard to know if it really "worked" for many reasons. This is why we run double-blind, randomized control trials- to be convinced that the treatment "worked".

He went from being unable to eat many foods, to eating a full cheese pizza on camera. Pretty sure it worked.

Whom did he get backlash from and what was their stated reason?

That's incredible. How has he not patented the process and made a fortune from selling a cure for lactose intolerance?

Evidence to the contrary - fishing during free time.
