 Many people believe that Scientific research should be carried out and controlled by the governments rather than private companies.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is undeniable fact that government works for the welfare of people. It is often argued that scientific research should be supervised by successive governments instead of private entities. However, I firmly agree with the given notion. 

Apparently, government role to control scientific studies holds wide range of constructive benefits. Firstly, not only many scientific research projects are funded by the supreme bodies grant which is derived from public money such as taxes. Hence, the authorities ought to make sure that this study is not wasting money and can bring about the beneficial effects for the upliftment of society at an unprecedented scale ,but also many scientific studies involve human as objects. So, government should employ a strict regulation to protect and to ensure that there is no violation of human rights as well as no negative consequences resulting from fundamental process. 

Secondly, plethora of research activities are carried out by private companies such as pharmaceutical companies to produce a new remedy for a certain illness. This leads to exclusive claim for the medication by a sole company merely for the sake of economic commodity without offering an advantage to the public health. Therefore, in such case, the legal bodies should implement policies such as granting a limited time for the company to produce and sell the medication as well as adjusting the medication price in the market. Thus, making affordable for people.

To conclude, I strongly agree, the research that is done by private companies must be reviewed, and monitored by the governments in order to avoid any misappropriation. It must be controlled, as some of companies might be doing research for their monetary gain or for destructive weapons such as developing biochemical weapons, and it could threaten the world peace. It is the governments’ job to prevent and block these kinds of research.
