"Disease" does not mean "thing that makes you feel bad." If everybody had MS, it would not be a disease, anymore than aging is a disease.

I don't know Chris: everybody has cavities, yet still we get them filled; aging is seen as a degenerative process; pain hurts and is called pain even when it is socially justified (circumcision)....so I'm not convinced by the relativistic stuff.
