TOPIC: ISSUE69 - "Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development"


We have seen for too many times on TV and in our everyday life that many people argue government should lay strict rules to control scientific research, namely the study and application of cloning, or the experiment to test mass destructive weapons. At first glance, it might seem quite sensible in that in everything must be regulated in order to keep our society going smoothly. Yet the underlying relationship between scientific research and government role in such issue leads me into further exploration of the topic and help me get a relatively comprehensive understanding of it.

Admittely, in our times since science has been so highly developed that some reseaches, whose results might be potentially harmful for humanity, have been conducted whether screctly or publicly. Without knowing the possbile outcome of such research and the confidence to control its results if they turn out to be detrimental to we human beings, we should give it a second thought as whether we should lay strict restrictions on such things, at least for the time being. After all, nobody would want to wake up only to see that the champanzees scientists worked on yesterday have already conquered the White House, or the super virus that has newly been invented in labs wipe out all the other human beings on this planet.

Besides, we've been faced with so many urgent social problems today, that sparing money on such researches might not turn out to be the best strategy when one considers the vast uses the money invested in researches can be put into. The spread of AIDS, the threats of terrism, femminism that perveys in many parts of African areas, and illegal international drug trades all needs cooperation from all countries of the world, and to fund these causes great sum of money would be in desperate need.

However, a totally strict restriction is not viable if one is visionery enough to see the potential benefits, which might well outweight the disadvantages mentioned above, innovative researches can bring. Take the invention of Internet for example. Before Internet was created, people are confined in a rather small area, whether mentally or geographically. Information lacks the pathway through which it can reach millions of people, and we are kept like an idot by not being able to know what's happeing out there in the world and what's up to our friends lately. Then the Internet appears, then changes in everything. Via the Internet, people living in China might be well informed about what's going on in the Oval Office by a single click on political news. When we miss our friends, we just need to log onto our Facebook account and see what's "new" or "tweet" them using the most popular SNS website. From what has been discussed above, I guess nobody would say that research is of little value and should be strictly restrained because we're experiencing the benefit brought by it every minute everywhere.

Furthermore, in considering the counter acting effect of research and society, I do not think goverment should play a part, if there is any part for it to play, in controling reseaches. I would like to explain this in detail. Whether you have already realized that or not, society itself is playing a big part in determining how far, or say how advanced researches should go. In other words, if society falls behind researches, whether in terms of economy, technology, or ethic values, it will automatically pose restrictions on researches. For example, people have been declaring that they have already managed the technology of cloning a person. And yet we have not seen, nor is there any reports about, the vast appliance of such technology. The underlying reason is, as far as i'm concerned, the relatively less development of our ethic values and standards. But I do believe that one day when our ethic values have developed to a higher level, it can be tolerant of issues such as cloning and thus the restriction it poses on cloning would be removed. From this example, I guess one could well see how society controls researches.

As for government's responsibility in terms of researches, I think it should not only, granted that it should somehow, focus on money issues and nothing else. However, it needs to make sure that all the researches and scientists who devote themselves for these would not be influenced by political matters. After all, a peaceful and safe environment is necessary for scientific innovation. We don't want to see tragedies like Jewish scientists being forced to stop their work and leave Germany in World War II happen in our modern times.

Admittely, in our times since science has been so highly developed that some reseaches, whose results might be potentially harmful for humanity, have been conducted whether screctly or publicly. Without knowing the possbile outcome of such research and the confidence to control its results if（before）they turn out to be detrimental to we human beings, we should give it a second thought as whether we should lay strict restrictions on such things, at least for the time being. After all, nobody would want to wake up only to see that the champanzees scientists worked on yesterday have already conquered the White House, or the super virus that has newly been invented in labs wipe out all the other human beings on this planet.

Besides, we've been faced with so many urgent social problems today, that sparing(spending) money on such researches might not turn out to be the best strategy when one considers the vast uses the money invested in researches can be put into (many urgent situations. For example,) The spread of AIDS, the threats of terrism, feminism that perveys in many parts of African areas, and illegal international drug trades all needs cooperation from all countries of the world, and to fund these causes great sum of money would be in desperate need.（这一段你可以改写成政府应该做什么，不然和主题无关。）

However, a totally strict restriction is not viable if one is visionary enough to see the potential benefits, which might well outweight the disadvantages mentioned above, innovative researches can bring. Take the invention of Internet for example. Before Internet was created, people are confined in a rather small area, whether mentally or geographically. Information lacks the pathway through which it can reach millions of people, and we are kept like an idiot by not being able to know what's happeing out there in the world and what's up to（太口语化了） our friends lately. Then the Internet appears,(and) then changes in（删除) everything. Via the Internet, people living in China might be well informed about what's going on in the Oval Office by a single click on political news. When we miss our friends, we just need to log onto our Facebook account and see what's "new" or "tweet" them using the most popular SNS website.

Furthermore, in considering the counter acting effect of research and society, I do not think goverment should play a part, if there is any part for it to play, in controling reseaches.

However, it needs to make sure that all the researches and scientists who devote themselves for these would not be influenced by political matters. After all, a peaceful and safe environment is necessary for scientific innovation. We don't（do not） want to see tragedies like Jewish scientists being forced to stop their work and leave Germany in World War II happen in our modern times(结尾举例子不太好吧，感觉你的结尾不太简洁).
