G神团队资源分享 GRE高频机经写作题目思路（201405月-8月考试适用） 考前必看 Issue思路 36.Governments should not fund any scientific research whose consequences areunclear. Writea response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree withthe recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. Indeveloping and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances inwhich adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous andexplain how these examples shape your position. | Arguments for the prompt | | Governments should issue a strict ban on research with unclear ethical implication. | Cloning technology is widely banned because of its ethically problematic nature (religious issue& issue regarding personal identity). | Governments in underdeveloped regions should use its research funding more prudently in areas with short-term effect. | The problem of scientific research with unclear consequences is twofold. First, it costs tons of money. Second, its effect is unpredictable. Yet underdeveloped regions have neither the money to waste nor the time to wait for the effect to happen. |
| Arguments against the position | | Governments in relatively developed regions should carefully provide financial support for researches even if their consequences may be temporarily unclear. | Technological strength marks a nation’s current global status (see U.S. after World War II). Many now influential technologies did not seem at all promising when first developed (See Riemann Geometry, World Wide Web, Quantum Mechanics, and the Theory of Relativity…). |
Conclusion:whether the suggestion should be adopted depends on the ethical nature of aresearch as well as on a nation’s economic power.
