So I just finished reading some of the book Flowers for Algernon for school. It's about a mentally retarded man volunteering to be part of a surgery/experiment that will try to make his IQ three times higher than what it was.
I've heard that some scientists today are trying to accomplish this. What do you guys think about artificially raising a person's IQ? What do you think would happen if everybody, or most people received that sort of surgery? Just wondering what some of you guys think about this sort of thing. |
