The Government should Provide Rehabilitation Programme for Drug Users

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for them.

Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might accidently step on.

If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn’t solve the problem as drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed to them. Providing rehabilitation programmes for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programmes is better than only arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned.

Gene Splicing

Genetic research has produced both exciting and frightening possibilities. Scientists are now able to create new forms of life in the laboratory due to the development of gene splicing.

The ability to create life in the laboratory could greatly benefit mankind. For example, as it is very expensive to obtain insulin from natural sources, scientists have developed a method to manufacture insulin inexpensively in the laboratory.

Another beneficial application of gene splicing is in agriculture. Scientists foresee the day when new plants will be developed using nitrogen from the air instead of the fertilizer. By this, food production could hopefully be developed to feed the world’s hungry people.

On the contrary, no one agreed on gene splicing. Some people think that it has terrible consequences. A laboratory accident, for example, might cause an epidemic of an unknown disease that could wipe out humanity.

As a result of this controversy, the government made rules of controlling genetic experiments. In response to these rules, some members of the scientific community argue that the rules are too strict, whilst many other believe that they are still lenient.

Scientists hope to ....

1. create new air substance for plants
2. develop agricultural sector using gene splicing
3. free the world from hunger by creating new forms of life
4. manufacture insulin by exploring alternative resources
5. develop modern fertilizer for new plants
