5. Should science be used artificially to improve someone's intelligence or external appearance?
My answer is no.Firstly, by doing this, it is against the law of nature.Plastic surgery and the enhancement of intellect should only be used when necessary.For example, Charlie Gordon in Flower for Algernon was mentally challenged, just like many other mentally challenged patients nowadays.Charlie had a choice to become smart and he did because he thought Smart=Many friends but in the end, the experiment still ended in a failure.However,if a person with an IQ of 120 wanted to triple his intelligence,this is just purely out of greed.Similarly, a person's features cannot be changed anyhow.Another example is from a book I have read.It was about a criminal who went for plastic surgery every time after he committed a crime(personal surgeon of course).This act is completely dishonest.Thus, i would like to say that science should not be used to artificially improve somebody's intelligence or external appearance.
