Many people have been wondering whether all scientific discoveries are distributed with other scientists all over the world. There can be a few positive aspects to share the idea and knowledge acquired from the scientific research. However, as far as I am concerned, I believe that the discoveries should be shared carefully among other scientists because of following reasons.
First of all, the right of discoveries should be protected. Most creative researches are required scientists’ huge efforts and a large amount of budgets. Scientists and organizations invest their resource and times because they can acquire benefits from the discoveries and research results. For this reason, the right of discoveries can contribute keeping these efforts and investment. On the other hand, if all scientific discoveries should be shared with all scientists in the world, they will not use their massive resource for the research anymore. Today, most private companies apply for a patent to protect their new ideas and inventions. Therefore, they can gain profits from outcomes of the research and invest their money for various researches again. By the protection for results, the science and research could keep conduct and make excellence achievements.
Also, sharing all discoveries can make several negative impacts. Some knowledge and information should deal with carefully because it could be used other purpose compared to what they initially intended. For instance, when the nuclear technology invented, scientists believed that it will result in positive contributes to our world and society as a new energy source. Many scientists researched a nuclear plant and generator using the idea. In contrast, some scientists applied the technology to make a bomb, the nuclear bomb. This bomb has become an extremely dangerous weapon and serious threats our world. This example can support that my opinion is compelling.
All in all, I believe that my explanations above sufficiently prove the disadvantages of sharing scientific discoveries over the world without the enough considerations. Hence, in order to gain benefits from the distribution of these discoveries, people should ensure the right of the discoveries and consider possible negative effects.
