My second essay here~~~

Thank all for comments~~~

Especially, thank you, Kitos~~~

Experience tells us scientific research always achieves more when given a more free circumstance. While scientists should be given a broad space to realize their ideas, government’s restrictions are necessary in some particular realms.

In history, government often restricted scientific advancement. Consider, if you will, the Copernicus’ heliocentric theory which claims the earth circles around the sun. Usually, bureaucrats restricted some scientific achievements in Medieval Ages because these achievements threatened their governing or because they failed to penetrate the significant value of these achievements. Moreover, governments at present sometimes restrict scientific communication, and result in obstacle of scientific development, which often occurs between Beijing and Taiwan, North Korea and the South, and so on, for some political reasons. These restrictions, either in history or at present, often restrain the development of science.

However, restrictions are needed in certain fields. Consider the nuclear research supported by governments of Germany, USA, and Soviet Union during the World War II. The atom bomb was supposed to end the war earlier. Nonetheless, when the bomb dropped in two large cities in Japan, killing millions of innocent people, the wall between science and humanity was blasted down and people began to require government to restrict the nuclear research. Now, the use of nuclear energy is strictly supervised by the United Nation.

Another example locates in genetic or cloning research. Many governments around the world have banned the human clone, for a moral or humanity reason, though this kind of research means significantly in medicine.

The controversy rises when people ask the criteria for the government to restrict a certain research. For instance, in the cloning case, should we sacrifice the chance of development in medicine for morality? Or consider the nuclear experiment in North Korea and Iran, in which their governments claim it is for their countries’ security, which seems a proper excuse. There is no universal answer to those criteria, since cultural, historical backgrounds and value systems differ around the world, but it is useful for the governments to weigh from a utilitarian and insightful view for the present as well as for the future.

In the final analysis, while, generally, scientific researches need to be given a free circumstance, it is necessary for government to restrict some certain researches, with insightful and precautious views.
