Is Charlie Gordon A Medical Surgery Ethical Or Unethical?

361 Words1 Page

Medical ethics are a questionable matter. If the surgery helps the patient and doesn’t cause harm it is ethical. If it causes harm and stress it is unethical. One example of an unethical surgery is the mind altering surgery Charlie Gordon (a mentally handicapped, 37 year old man who lives in New York) underwent. Two neurosurgeons Doctor Nemur and Doctor Strauss performed the surgery. The surgery was an attempt to triple his IQ of 68 and make him a genius. This surgery was not ethical. This surgery was not ethical because it completely warped Charlie's way of life. Charlie was the nice "dumb" guy that everyone knew and loved. When Charlie had the surgery everyone was afraid of him, as if he was some kind of Frankenstein's monster. With people

    I Dr. Strauss, chose Charlie for the surgery, it got me a lot of grief from Dr.Nemur but I knew it was the right choice. Charlie is a man of low intellect but he is very cooperate, motivated, and not hostile. These traits are exceptionally rare in a man of 68 IQ. Another reason that Dr. Nemur and I chose Charlie was that he worked extremely hard in Miss Kinnians class. Working hard got him to be the best because he picked up spelling and writing faster than others in the class. Some other reasons I chose Charlie was because he did all the tests without much complaint. We almost lost Charlie when he tested against Algernon in the maze and didn't write the progress reports for 2 weeks. When the tests were to

    The first reason why I think this is that the operation makes Charlie realize how mean his friends were and loses them, causing him to feel bad. For example, on page 209 it says, “It’s a funny thing I never knew that Joe and Frank and the others liked to have me around all the time to make fun of me,” and later Charlie says, “I’m ashamed,” which shows how realizing the truth about Joe and Frank makes him feel.

    If Charlie didn’t have the operation he would not be able to realize that Joe and Frank were making fun of him. Joe and Frank would just keep making fun of him and he would not be able to stick up for himself. Once in the story Charlie said,“It's a funny thing I never knew that Joe and Frank and the others liked to have me around all the time to make fun of me. Now I know what it means when they say "to pull a Charlie Gordon.” I'm ashamed” (page 524). Somebody who has been made fun of before should know that anybody would want to stick up for themselves. This shows that it was a blessing for Charlie to have this operation because now he can stick up for

    They failed to see Charlie as a human being, not a test subject. They also weren't acting ethically when they chose Charlie as the test subject, when he was not mentally capable of making such a decision to say yes to the experiment. Although Charlie's doctors were unethical when they performed the experiment on Charlie, they were going into an unknown field of study where no known procedures were in place with patient interaction and concern. All in all, Charlie Gordans' doctors did not act ethically when they performed the experimental surgery to improve his intelligence.

    This way, Charlie was able to contribute to science and they learned that the experiment didn’t work for an extended period of time. Without him, the doctors would have just picked another candidate. At least this way, Charlie could say that he did everything in his power to make himself smarter. One of the doctors from the story speaks, “He said Dr Nemur I know Charlie is not what you had in mind as the first of your new brede of intelek** (coudnt get the word) superman.“ (Keyes, 57). This part of the short story shows that the doctor was looking for a different person to be the first test subject for the experiment. If Charlie hadn’t volunteered, someone else would have been put through it all the same. By doing the operation, Charlie was able to benefit science in more ways than one. First with the data for the experiment and when he became intelligent, he did an experiment all of his own. He called the outcome the Algernon-Gordon effect, his experiment explained what happened to the brain after it started its rapid loss of
