Artificially raising intelligence is a very risky and unpredictable procedure that could possibly cost you lots of money and possibly your life. Many precautions should be taken before even thinking of getting the operation.
People should not be able to artificially increase their intelligence, it is way too risky and not a fully legal or licensed operation. In the book Flowers For Algernon the doctors that operated or “experimented” on Charlie did not have full authorization for the operation. And especially were not licensed for that specific surgery. They also were not a large hospital they were a small local clinic. In the book Charlie was used the same way as a mouse used for testing for the same procedure.
