The government should spend more money on medical research to protect citizens’ health rather than on protecting the environment. Do you agree or disagree?

These days, most scientific

research

activities are funded and undertaken by private companies

instead

of the government.

Although

there are several benefits from

this

trend, its drawbacks are more significant. On the one hand, private funding helps scientific

research

to be conducted without interruptions caused by significant government budget cuts. Reduced state funding in the recent decade has led scientists to be insufficiently paid and

research

activities to be constantly delayed.

, private funders usually are risk-takers and,

therefore

, more willing to provide bigger financial assistance.

, scientists would be more well-paid for their work and

more motivated to undertake their researches.

On the other hand

, it is difficult to ensure the reliability of

outcomes when private entities are the funders.
