We used to live in a place with many unknowns. All aspects of human life have alleviated and has assisted us with the help of
science
and innovations. While there are others who see investing in research and development in the region of
science
is a waste. I completely disagree with
this
and strongly believe, that
this
is critical to the sustainability of the mankind as well as the existence of our planet.
Humans live longer with the evolution of technology.
In other words
, the advancement of technology has led the man to create products
such
as, MRI machines or Laser lights used in patient treatment. These machines in the healthcare industry have helped a variety of people suffering, from fatal health complications
such
as, chronic heart diseases to cancer patients.
For example
, in the U.S.A, in 2015 year alone had just over 2 million people suffering from some form of cancer and a recent study have shown approximately 1.5 million of those diagnosed are still alive in 2019. Where as, around 20 years ago a person surviving cancer had a chance of only 20%. It is
then
clear, that studies in the region of
science
have led the man to create sophisticated machines that have aided to increase the overall life expectancy,
hence
scientific research and development should be encouraged and must be provided with more funding.
External foreing object led to a mass destruction. Others who view scientific innovations are wasteful would argue that some projects
for instance
,
space
exploration
has drained a greater portion of financial resources. While it is true, that
space
exploration
by organisations
such
as NASA may have had an impact on the economy of America,
however
I believe that the benefits are much greater.
For example
, it is known that a in the history a large meteoroid collided with the earth, which resulted in the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Therefore
,
exploration
of outer
space
has given the mankind to understand what lies beyond the planet we live on. It will
also
, give us a chance to better prepare and even destroy external material that may harm earth should the history repeats itself.
In conclusion,
science
based studies and development should be promoted and well funded financially in order to save humans from various diseases that may shorten the life expectancy.
In addition
, even though
exploration
of
space
is expensive, it brings many benefits to the mankind and may someday save the planet from external material.
