Argumentative paper
Ethics are what guide people to decide what's right and wrong ethics keep a person in check by having strict guide lines. Charlie Gordon was a very hardworking man he had a nice life but he was mentally challenged and wanted to become smart. So he went to two doctors named Doctor Strauss and Doctor Nemur they had a surgery to increase one's intelligence level.

But I personally don’t think Charlies doctors acted ethically and here's why.

I thought that Dr. Nemur and Dr. Strauss did a great job helping Charlie and keeping an eye on what he was doing. They also didn’t give up on him and had Ms.Kinnian help with Charlies English. Another example of the doctors helping Charlie was when doctor Strauss brought the tv looking device so Charlie could learn in his sleep. They also made sure Charlie was doing progress reports almost everyday so they could see what he's struggling with and help him with that problem. Here are some examples in the story that support my claim. "I got scared when Dr. Nemur and Dr. Strauss argued about it." This shows that the two doctors are more worried about the operation than Charlie's safety. Another example was when it said "I asked Dr. Strauss if I'll beat Algernon in the race after the operation and he said maybe.if the operation works" This shows that Dr. Strauss isn't sure if the operation is completely safe.
