In today’s world, private companies rather than the government pay for and conduct most scientific research. Do you think the advantages outweigh disadvantages?
It is now a common phenomenon that private organizations
instead
of Linking Words
government
are pursuing scientific research in various areas of interest. Correct article usage
the government
While
some welcome Linking Words
this
citing increased efficiency and economical approaches, others contend that Linking Words
such
sensitive and potentially dangerous technology should not be in control of one single individual organization.
Linking Words
To begin
with, these individual organizations - unlike public ones- are often motivated by profit-making and Linking Words
thus
a scientific breakthrough made by them will be followed by exploiting it for their Linking Words
money making
goals. Add a hyphen
money-making
This
will in turn make any new products highly expensive and almost inaccessible Linking Words
for
the common population. Change preposition

For instance
, if any pharmaceutical company produces medicine for cancer, it will charge a hefty price for Linking Words
this
life-saving drug and many won't be able to afford it. Linking Words
Therefore
, it is no surprise that many people suffer without Linking Words
such
medicines.

Moreover
, there is Linking Words

a possibility of weaponization of Linking Words

such
individual firms. Having invested a lot of time and resources in developing these machines, they are highly likely to sell them to the highest bidder. Linking Words
This
can prove to be disastrous for national security Linking Words
as well as
global peace and security. Or worse it can fall into the hands of any terrorist organizations. Linking Words
Thus
, private firms can be highly unreliable and potentially unsafe places.

Nonetheless
, there are some benefits that the privatization of science brings. One of the major benefits is the ack of red-tapism. Unnecessary and time-consuming processes are seldom found in privately owned corporations. They optimize every functional area and deliver results swiftly. Linking Words
For instance
, Privately owned labs can produce vaccines twice as Linking Words
faster
as their government-owned counterparts. Replace the word
fast
Similarly
, the former achieves the target by using fewer resources than the latter.
Linking Words
To conclude
, there are logical arguments to both sides of the discussion. Linking Words
However
, I believe that the demerits of technology being misused are too disastrous to be ignored and Linking Words
therefore
far outweigh the benefits. If these inventions are misused, it will result in another global war.Linking Words
