Which do the authors think is true of the human brain?
{ 1 } - The human brain is capable of self-maintenance and self-restoration, but not of self-development from the embryo.
{ 2 } - Radical improvement of the human brain may be illusory, whereas even slight alterations may be very damaging.
{ 3 } - The risk of producing only persons of lowered intelligence by altering the structure of the human brain is not very high.
{ 4 } - Knowledge of the human brain is practically complete.
{ 5 } - The human brain is clearly not anywhere near the limit of complexity and integration possible in organic, living systems.
{ 6 } - The structure of the brain is relatively simple.
