Q2The theme raised is about young girls going to school in the morning in their school uniforms but after that they tell their mother they got school meeting,sports and games,but they really come out and play a fool.

should science be used to artificially improve someone's intelligence?

Q5.Science should indeed be used to artificially improve someone's intelligence .However the person must be of a low intelligence,if not it is an abuse of science.By artificially improving people of low intelligence,we are helping them to be smarter ,to blend in with the society.If not they will be isolated or neglected by the rest of the society.With higher intelligence , they will also be able to find a better job to survive.Since it is a benefit of science, I feel that science should be used to artificially improve someone's intelligence.
Science should not be used artificially to improve someone's external appearance as our body is from god , we should treasure it.Besides it is against the law of nature to artificially improve our appearance.It is an abuse of science if we artificially improve our external appearance.However, if someone is disfigured in a fire for an example,it is approprate for them undergo operation to artificially improve their external appearrance.
