Ethics And Obligation In Flowers For Algernon By Daniel Keyes

Charlie got smarter after the surgery, because Algernon was experimented on during the surgery and was really smarter than Charlie

“I said Miss Kinnian never gave me tests like that one only spelling and reading. They said Miss Kinnian told that I was her bestist pupil in the adult nite scool becaus I tryed the hardist and I reely wantid to lern” -Charlie. Concluding that if you could feel smarter than you are now, would you. That's what Charlie feels like until he has an operation that makes him smart. The theme of this story I think is that people change over time. Like charlie changes throughout the story. In the story “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes Charlie patarys the theme that people changed overtime.

When Charlie was intelligent he often got irritated at the doctors because they weren’t as smart as him. He had also dealt with a lot of emotion with Miss Kinnian, Charlie was in love with Miss Kinnian. When he regressed, he was embarrassed to see her because he thought she would think he was dumb. When Charlie was at a diner, he saw a kid with disabilities, and everyone was laughing at him and so was Charlie. He was upset with himself that he laughed at him because that kid was him before he had the surgery to make him smart.

Ethics is your values and what the doctor asked you when you go to the doctor. Charlie from "Flowers for Algernon" is a kid with a really low IQ, his IQ is 68 which is really bad. That means that he is not very smart.Then he went into the operation and he got smarter. He has a pet mouse named Algernon and Charlie wants to race him and beat him which he does then Algernon dies because he stops eating and is getting less smart. Charlie Gordon's doctor did not act ethical when they performed the surgery to make him smarter, because later on he was getting less smart and people started to make for of him and they wanted the owner of the job place to have people sign a piece of paper some

Even though it was Charlies idea to do the operation it was not an ethical decision perform the experiment to enhance his intelligent by 3. the doctors knew about the all the risks of doing the experiment but still the did it any way without informing Charlie. That is the reason that the doctors ruined Charlies life. And that is the reason that Charlies doctors did not make an ethical

After Charlie’s surgery, he is smart for about three to four weeks and then this brain start deteriorating, I don’t think that surgery was a good idea because the doctors didn’t do enough tests or wait long enough to make sure the operation worked. The doctor’s didn’t wait until Algernon died to see if it would shorten the lifespan. They didn’t do multiple tests on animals to see if the operation was constant. The doctors were also at fault because Algernon died after they already gave Charlie the operation.

One reason why the operation on Charlie was unethical was that he could not fully grasp the concept of the procedure. For example, in Progress Report 1, Charlie wrote that Miss Kinnian, Charlie's teacher, told him about the procedure and he jotted down, "I hope [Dr. Strauss and Dr. Nemur] use me ... I want to be smart[sic]" (Keyes 514). To receive the operation was Charlie's dream because he wanted to enhance his intelligence, however, that was all he knew about the procedure. Since Charlie had a low intelligence, he could not see the pros and cons of the surgery, only what he wanted, which was to become smart, making the operation unethical. Also, in Progress Report 3, Charlie recorded his past on how people would ask him why he wanted to become smart. "I told them becaus all my life I wantid to be smart and not dumb ... I dont care if it herts[sic]" (Keyes 515). Being born with low intelligence made Charlie yearn to get smarter. However, because getting smarter

Ethics are feeling that a person has that make them think about certain actions that they tell apart from right and wrong. Ethics also are peoples personality and how they live and maybe how they act. Charlie Gordon is a 37 year old man that works at a factory as janitor. Charlie Gordon has a learning disability.he is not as smart as other people in his age group. So he wants to be as smart as the other people so he decides that he wants to do a surgery that will make him smart.

Charlie Gordon is a man with a problem that makes him dumb. He has one of the lowest IQ’s out of the world with a 68. He has friends at a factory where he works. What he knows and calls friends are actually just mean people making fun of him. Charlie goes to a school made specifically for people like him. He has a nice teacher named Mrs. Kinnian

They said it was amazed and that Algernon and me had the same amazed to do.” The scientist explain to Charlie that he was going to try this maze and it would be a race against Algernon, but when Algernon wins every time he stats “Anyway that test made me feel worser than all the others because they did it over 10 times with difernt amazeds and Algernon won every time. I dint know that mice were so smart. Maybe thats because Algernon is a white mouse. Maybe white mice are smarter then other mice.”

Ethics is when you make either a good decision or a bad decision. "Flowers For Algernon" is a story about a man named Charlie who doesn't have a very high intelligence. Scientists accept him and give him tests to improve his IQ. One of those tests is a race to who can finish the maze first and his competitor is Algernon a mouse. The scientists also give Charlie an operation to help him gain more intelligence. They had to make a choice if they should do the operation or not. Charlie Gordon's doctors or scientists did make an ethical decision when they performed the surgery.

After Charlie has taken the surgery, he consuming information like a “giant sponge”; as Miss Kinnian says. Charlie starts to comprehend his “friends” actions, and recognize they weren’t friends, as they appeared to be, in his childish naivety. With his IQ tripled and thus, at its peak hovering above 200, he unintended gradually induces a sense of inferiority into those around him. With the roles reversed, Charlie feels as if he had been cheated, and that those whom he idolized had merely been a façade. An additional change in Charlie is his perspective of Miss Kinnian, whom he is falling in love with.

Andrea Cervantes Putman Hour 1 and 6 15 November 2016 Argument Paper Ethics are the well formed standards of right and wrong, such as obligations, virtues, etc. It's often said to grow one self's ethical standards in order not to blur the fine line between right and wrong. In the story "Flowers for Algernon", the main character, Charlie, a man with a learning disability and an IQ of 68, volunteers to undergo the operation to increase his intelligence. However, were the doctors working with Charlie acting ethical when performing the operation on Charlie? Charlie Gordon's doctors were, in fact, not acting ethical when performing the operation on Charlie.

After being recommended for his determination by his teacher Ms. Kinnian, the doctors choose him. After becoming smart Charlie goes on many ups and downs in his life and eventually figures out that he will once again be below average intelligence.

Ethics help a person decide if the person should or should not be doing something. If someone only does something that would benefit themselves, and it is hurting someone else, then that is not ethical. If someone is doing something that could benefit themselves and the other person, then it is ethical. Flowers For Algernon is about a mentally disabled man named Charlie Gordon. Charlie Gordon is mentally disabled with an IQ of 68. Two doctors tell that there is an operation that would make him smart. At first, Charlie was hesitant, but Ms. Kinnian Charlie to undergo the operation. The doctors proceed with the operation without telling Charlie of the Side effects or any of the dangers of the surgery. Charlie Gordon's doctors did not act ethically when they performed the surgery to make him smarter.
