31. “Money spent on research is almost always a good investment, even when the results of that research are controversial”.

    Is money spent on research almost always a good investment, even when the results of that research are controversial? The speaker acclaims so. Undoubtedly, money used for research is a good investment, but not always. In my view, we should take the results of that research into account and make judgment on whether the research can benefit all humanity.
   
It is a rewarding investment to support the research financially. After all, research is an inquiry or experimentation with the purpose of the discovery and explanation of facts, revision of accepted theories or the application of new or revised theories in practice. Therefore, it can be contribute to solving the hard issues in reality and improve the quality of our lives. Here is a good example that can uphold my reason. Study on the serious diseases such as cancer is helpful to understand the cause of them so as to prevent and cure the illness, which would kill or ease the pain and extend the life expectancy. Another example is work regarding clear energy such as solar energy, wind energy and water energy. The utilization of these pollution-free energy resources plays a significant part in the protection of the environment. Obviously, people can enjoy the benefits from the above research, which clearly illustrate that money spent on research is a good investment.
   
However, sometimes the results of the research are controversial. There are some researches that may also produce an unexpected consequence or conflict with the conventional concepts besides of the positive influence. Study on biological and nuclear weapons is a good example. Research regarding these weapons truly makes contribution to the progress of technology but probably threatens to world peace. Embryo research has been the focus of many ethical debates in recent years. Although people can treat possibly every disease and disorder known to humans by studying human embryonic cells as well as being valuable to the advancement of new drugs, the public cannot accept it because of a religious point regarding life and how much respect an embryo should be awarded. So these researches are the subject of widespread controversy.

As a result, whether money spent on research is a good investment or not depends on what the research aims at. The study is supposed to be encouraged so long as it will contribute to improvement of society. Concerning the controversial researches mentioned ealier, we should also see that war can be controlled in a time of peace and, embryo research is restricted by morals or ethics. Moreover, these researches help greatly to promote the development of science and technology in a long term. Therefore, we need to analyze the positive and negative influences on the societies that the research possibly produces. With regard of controversial study, governments should publish a series of policies and laws to guide and limit it properly, minimize the potential harm in combination with endeavor of every individual. For example, people can provide the limited funding for the contentious research and, make them under the control of governments. So the purpose of study is crucial.

In a word, a conclusion can be drawn as the follows. On the one hand, money cost by research is considered as a wise investment when the researchers commit themselves to strive for human happiness. On the other hand, governments should play an important role in guide the research when the consequences are controversial. Only by doing so can funds allocated for the research be valuable and meaningful instead of waste.

The utilization of thesepollution-free energy resources plays a significant part in the protection ofthe environment. Obviously, people can enjoy the benefits from the aboveresearch, which clearly illustrate that money spent on research is a goodinvestment. 我觉得看了第一段觉得你已经把研究的好处全部说尽了，忍不住看了第二段才知道你只是在第一段说一些急迫的研究需要。但是你第一段中it can be contribute to solving the hard issuesin reality and improve the quality of our lives.并没有强烈地表现出下文两个例子的急迫性，所以这里可以更改的更加强烈点。换而言之，就是说强调一些社会发展中遇到急迫问题的解决。

As a result, whether money spent on research is a good investment or notdepends on what the research aims at. The study is supposed to be encouraged solong as it will contribute to improvement of society. 这么说是不是和下文无法协调了？Alife-orientated research is basically beneficial but certain consideration tocontroversial side is necessary. Concerningthe controversial researches mentioned earlier, we should also see that war canbe controlled in a time of peace and, embryo research is restricted by moralsor ethics. Moreover, these researches help greatly to promote the developmentof science and technology in a long term. Therefore, we need to analyze thepositive and negative influences on the societies that the research possiblyproduces. With regard of controversial study, governments should publish aseries of policies and laws to guide and limit it properly, minimize thepotential harm in combination with endeavor of every individual. For example,people can provide the limited funding for the contentious research and, makethem under the control of governments. So the purpose of study is crucial. 我觉得如果过分说should，那么逻辑上可以理解成投资争议的研究是有利的，也可以理解成这是有害的，应该在你所陈述的方面加强。这么写逻辑过弱。


In a word, a conclusion can be drawn as thefollows. On the one hand, money cost by research is considered as a wiseinvestment when the researchers commit themselves to strive for humanhappiness. On the other hand, governments should play an important role inguide the research when the consequences are controversial. Only by doing socan funds allocated for the research be valuable and meaningful instead ofwaste.

个人觉得是不是可以在controversial和good investment这两个词上继续深究？这两个词的逻辑关系很微妙，这两个词本身也是有巨大的内容可以挖掘。不知楼主是否同意？可以继续讨论。
