One of the most positive effects research has is the ability to actually find ways to help people. For example, studies have been conducted on the effects of certain drugs on the ability for children to function when they have issues such as ADHD. Although there are always possible side effects of drug use, they have found numerous pills which are able to enhance many children and adults abilities, and many times it out weighs the risk of not taking it. Conditions like ADHD are not life threatening, but it helps people regulate themselves in order to continue to succeed.

This is a great example of necessary research (risk/benefit). One main reason that children with ADHD have to utilize such drugs is because the school system is not designed to meet the needs of these children and how they learn. Sometimes I wonder if the research should be geared toward meeting those needs rather than more drugs to accomodate schools.
