This intelligence boost comes fast as well as a man who claimed to himself, “One day I might be smarter than that mouse” (Keyes 227) quickly after the operation was able to write a letter regarding the effects of his own scientific experiments. It is limitless how well much intelligence can be added to a human. One goes from comparing himself to a mouse, to outsmarting doctors on a medical subject. Technology has changed the way those impaired will live their
