In "Flowers for Algernon," Charlie's surgery wears off due to the temporary nature of the experimental procedure that enhanced his intelligence. The surgery, which was based on the success of a similar operation performed on the mouse Algernon, ultimately cannot sustain the increased cognitive abilities over time. As Charlie's mental decline progresses, it reflects the inherent limitations and ethical implications of manipulating intelligence. This deterioration serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of human intellect and the consequences of scientific experimentation.
