题目:ISSUE69 - "Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development"
In recent years, the topic of influence on scientific research and development from government is so hot that people varying from personalities as well as backgrounds tend to observe this same issue from diversified perspectives. A widely accepted viewpoint claim that the less restrictions from the authority, the healthier can science go on. Although I'm not pleased with the feeling of being a critic, I would rather stand on the opposite of this claim and reckon that it is necessary for our political officials to enact some regulations towards scientists in order to show they are responsible for the national residents and prevent something dangerous to happen.
First of all, I have to concede that as science has been a very expert and complicated field, it is not entirely unreasonable for scientists to have a sense of hate towards interruptions from the outside world, for no one is glad to be commanded by a laity. As most of the government officials who do not majored in science during their college lives can hardly understand those complex researches in deep, their advices may serve as obstacles for the further progress of science.
Nevertheless, considering many scientists say no to politic interference and ask for more funds at the same time, it is a responsibility for government to make sure that the money spending on scientific researches is worthy which comes from the hard-working taxpayers of the nation, as we don’t need to spend too much time and energy to seek for such a news from the Internet that a university professor goes to enjoy holidays to Hawaii instead of working hard in labs using the next year’s researching capital. It seems like that our society is always lack of money: business, industry, agriculture... All of these fields play a significant role in peoples' lives so that can not be overlooked by an effective government. As the total tax income of the country is limited, every field which receives financial support from the national budget has the duty to be monitored in order to conform that every coin cost is valuable.
At last, it is essential for scientific inventions to obey the fundamental ethic principles of the society, or the fortune of our human beings may be driven to a dead end. Though the technology of clone has been able to generate a person without any sexual behaviors and scientists have had the ability to produce an intelligent robot which owns emotions, both of these skills are restricted in the majority of the world, for the political leaders of those countries have a clear understanding that if one day some other creatures are so perfect that nothing can human beings do serve as an mission impossible for them, the doomsday of our species will not be too vague as we are never unique on the earth.
To sum up, even though considering the fact that politicians can make things worse occasionally, if scientist are expecting for more support from the government, they are supposed to be polite to the political officials. What's more, technologies may bring disasters to us without any restrictions.
In recent years, the topic of governmental influence on scientific research and development is so hot that people of varying backgrounds would address this issue from diversified perspectives. A widely accepted viewpoint claims that the less restrictions of authority on science, the healthier can science grow. However, I would rather stand on the opposite of this claim and reckon that it is necessary for our officials to enact some regulations on scientists in order to show they are responsible for benefitng citizens and preventing something dangerous to happen.
First of all, because science has become a very professional and complicated scope, it is reasonable for scientists to dislike interruptions from outsides, for no one is willing to be commanded by a laity. Most of the government officials, who usually cannot keep abreast with scientific development, can hardly understand those complex researches thoroughly and precisely. As a consequence, their advices might only serve as obstacles to the further progress of science.
Admittedly, it is natural inclination for scientists to avoid interference. On the other hand, however, it is a responsibility for government to make sure that the money spent on scientific pursue, which comes from the hard-working taxpayers of the nation, is worthy.
