People 

have different perspectives about who should be responsible for

conducting scientific research and its management. I agree that the
government should play a dominant role in this process rather than
companies.

The major reason why the government should manage scientific research
is about the concern of its safety. In an age of money worship, there is a
high possibility that the desire of making money would drive private
companies to carry out some evil scientific project that violate ethical code,
for example, human cloning. In contrast, this risk can be eradicated by the
management of the government, which play a roles of a powerful
supervisor, thus keeping scientific experiments and purposes
from challenging ethical boundaries and laws of modern civilisation.

Besides, the replacement of private companies by the government

can substantially reduce the costs of scientific achievements. In fact, prices
of new technologies, devices and medicines developed by private
companies and institutes are exorbitantly high, due to their initial gold
of pursuing maximum profits. For example, the consumer price of one
single pill for specific illness is hundreds of dollars, while its factory cost is
only few dollars.

Oppositely, if biomedical research is supported by the tex revenue, instead

of by private funds, patents and secrets of advanced medical technology do
not belong to one private company anymore, and all social medical
manufactures can be allowed to mass-produce new medicines, without
paying for astronomical patents fees. As a result, new medications and
cures will be affordable for all individuals, especially for poor groups.

In conclusion, I believe that scientific research projects should be

implemented and controlled by government rather than privately-held
companies.
