Scientific research should be carried out and controlled by governments rather than private companies. Do you agree or disagree?
Scientific
research
has been a hotly-debated sector.Some individuals are of the opinion that scientific findings
to be handled and regulated by the state
, while others suggest that they should be privatised.In my view,this
is a grey area that needs to be handled with great care because the ruling state
has all the right to take care of research
procedures.On the other hand
,privately owned bodies are also
significant in producing effective results
.
The government has the sole responsibility for scientific research
.First
of all,the nation needs to explore some of the relevant findings
that can be adopted in order to improve the living condition of the population in general,rather than waiting for the findings
from a different entity.To illustrate this
, the state
can explore how to treat medical conditions that are affecting their respective regions.Secondly
,it is the mandate of the nation to carry out and control any scientific research
taking place within their jurisdiction,provided that the members of the state
are protected from the exploitation of the researchers.For instance
,the laws protect against confidentiality while giving information.Thus
,the governing body has a responsibility to take charge of the research
finding and also
to ensure that the laws and regulations are enforced.
On the other hand
,private institutions have also
demonstrated prowess in findings
.Because of improved technology that they are able to use and the availability of experts who are experienced to deliver justifiable results
.In addition
,private facilities have fewer contents as opposed to the government therefore
their research
turnaround time is reduced and produce the results
within a given time period.For example
,the just-completed findings
on deleter virus the privately owned institution delivered 80% of the results
in due course,in comparison with the government who did not have ample time due to other commitments.Therefore
, the individually owned institution has efficiency in service delivery.
To sum up,although
the nation has the sole mandate to carry out the research
and enforce the laws enforcement related to the research
procedures.It is imperative they also
involve the individually owned research
institution in order to perform some of the findings
that are relevant.Submitted by Sabina Hamisi on
