In the past centuries, the developmentof technology has changed the mode of living dramaticallyand enhanced the general welfare of human society remarkably.(好) The scientificresearches supported by the government play a relatively crucial role in thisdevelopmental process. The speaker claims that governments are solely supposedto provide financial aid to scientific researches whose outcomes are clear.While I concede that the speaker's recommendation is blessed with severalmerits, I find it problematic in neglecting the potential negative influence.
Admittedly, scientific projects are highlydemanding, which require a vast amount of money, including the salaries of allstaffs, the expenses of procuring equipments. If governments are compelled toafford all the expenses of domestic scientific researches, it is doomed toresult in enormous financial pressure. Consequently, governments will notpossess adequate funding(不可数)to cope with other essential social issues,such as ameliorating the public transportation system, improving the quality ofprimary education. Even if governments patronage all the scientific programs,no every research will pay off and bring about beneficent consequences, whichcould even be detrimental under particular circumstances, such as cloninghuman. The investments in these researches are merely a waste. Therefore, supporting scientific programs with certain consequences will decreasethe possibility of squandering money on worthless researches, which isconducive to the utility of scientific exploring and relieve the potentialoverload of budget. However, the interplay of massive objectives is so marvelous and mysterious, which makes it impossible for human-being to assure the consequences. If governments abandon a research just due to the uncertainty of outcomes, we are likely to miss essential opportunities to make contributions to human civilization. For instance, in medical field, while developing a new medicine, no researcher can guarantee that the new medicine, which they engage in, will be absolutely safe and effective. If we apply the speaker's suggestion not to subsidize these researches, no medicament will be able to manufacture successfully. Without medicines, human race is bound to have limited approaches to counteract lethal diseases. Thus, the certainty of research consequences is not a valid criterion to judge whether a research deserves to obtain sufficient funding.
Indeed, during the journey of exploring unknown world, the risk of scientific researches is inevitable. Even determining not to patronize a research, whose results are unpredictable, itself is rather adventurous, which is possible to jeopardize the well-being of society. Governments seem to be trapped in a predicament that either supporting or not is inappropriate. The only solution is to face the dilemma. Confronting a research with potential hazards, a responsible government should encounter challenges and endeavor to decline the risk instead of being frightened to make determination. Confronting a research, whose significance is not evident, a matured government should establish a comprehensive evaluating system to gauge whether a research is worthwhile.
Conclusively, estimating a research whether deserves investment or not is so complicated that we can not state slapdash. Although certainty of research consequences should be taken into consideration, we should be prudent to determine. On under deliberation, we can maximize the benefits of science.条理清晰,分析到位,很好-- by 会员 竹林中人 (2012/11/3 14:00:31)
