　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement？ Governments and corporations should share all of their scientific discoveries with the rest of the world.

　　The majority of government and corporate research first enters the world in the form of commercial goods protected under intellectual property law. However， some believe that the results of their research should be freely shared for the good of humanity， rather than sold commercially. While I understand this well-intentioned sentiment， I have to disagree. I believe that such an idealistic system would actually be detrimental to scientific research overall.

　　First of all， research requires money. Equipment， staff， and facilities can quickly get expensive if you want to make any sort of reasonable progress. That is one reason why the majority of research conducted by governments and corporations （as opposed to say， non-profit organizations） is commercially driven. Take pharmaceutical research， for example： Every year， pharmaceutical companies pour billions of dollars a year into developing chemicals with medical applications. Of the countless chemicals they might investigate， only a select few turn out to be viable and make it to market. These companies have to sell their products at a price that allows them to recoup their massive research investment.
