Medical funds are used to find cures and treatments for the ill or diseased. If one is sick, without the money they have little to no chance of being cured. Wasting important funding on an experiment, at best, could harbor terrible outcomes. If people vote yes for artificial intelligence, they can cause negative long-term effects for the patient or patient's, waste the government’s medical money, or cause overall mayhem throughout the world.
Starting off, anger can cause one to perform rash actions. To begin with, if someone can not afford the intellect boosting experiment they could join together with others in similar situations. Baltimore riots from last year had deep poverty as a factor, causing mayhem throughout the town. This could …show more content…
Beginning, if a loved one is diagnosed with a curable disease, with enacting this operation money that could have been used to cure the loved one may not be available because of hospital finances. This is similar to the movie “Awakenings,” because of the prices of increasing the dosage of the drug L-Dopa, the hospital was close to not giving the required amount at all. In the surgery’s case, the government could have set aside so much value for the operation to the point of the hospital not having enough to cure the loved one. Also, money that could be used for investigating mysterious diseases could be spent for a possibly failing experiment. If a pathologist could possibly cure a disease like cancer, and then find out he or she has insufficient funds to complete the research, it is possible that an experiment that may not even work would be the reason the universe would not have a cure to a hard-hitting disease, such as cancer. This experiment could potentially go as far as making terrible diseases not be cured just for artificial …show more content…
To begin with, if something as simple as mixing up heart and lung transplants can harbor terrible effects then the possibilities of failure during or after the surgery could be endless. “And he [Algernon] hasn't been eating. Everyone is upset about what this may mean.” (page 302, Flower for Algernon) In the novel and short story Flowers for Algernon, a mouse named Algernon was the first success for an operation to increase intelligence. Later, he becomes less cooperative and even stops eating. Next, if a patient, or ‘labrat’ so to speak, is unable to function it could impact the rest of their life. When the illness encephalitis lethargica took the world by storm, the medicine to cure it had long-term effects on its patients. For some, certain body parts would not stop moving. This is another reason not to continue with the operation because if it makes patients not able to perform everyday tasks because of the operation, would it really be worth it?
