I recently completed Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. Throughout the reading of the novel, the eighth grader I am working with asked many questions regarding whether or not the protagonist should have been operated on to increase his intelligence. As readers, we see the increase and eventual decline of intelligence through journal writing. We also see growth and decline of friendships as Charlie goes through his changes. If you have not read this book or even if you have, consider reading it again and then consider the same ethical question my student did.
