Staying on topic, here: Would I undergo surgery to give a +int bonus? Damn straight! It was only a matter of time before we can start plugging in our brains and uploading books of data and intelligence.
The smarter we are as humans the smarter we are as a race. For business there is nothing more sacred than being able to have a competative edge and, for a price, being able to be smarter than the guy next to you means you beat them on the battlefield of business. Being able to develop ourselves beyond what we are capable of doing naturally is perfectly acceptable in my humble opinion.
I'm sure 200 years ago the idea of eating low-carb diets and specifically eating foods to harness our health looked much like sticking chips in our brain to make us smarter, nowadays. It's simply part of our advancement as a race. We are creatues of intellect and intelligence and we should capture the chance to do what it takes to unlock the doors to the unknown. If someone who alters their brain for more intelligence is capable of curing HIV/AIDs compared to not being able to do so without such surgery, I call that a miracle.
Imagine getting to the point where children will spend more time to developing advanced theories of nanoprocessors and less time wasting in a classroom. Sign me and my children up! We'll alpha test this technology! It's about due for humanity to make a breakthrough!
