I need some good neg arguments. Is there such thing as a societal good?
Societal good describes the overall health and happiness of society in the expression of its life expectancy, Rates of satisfaction and happiness, And other factors. As scientific knowledge, Such advances in medical technology, Generally leads to greater life expectancy and higher rates of satisfaction, Scientific knowledge and the good of a society are directly proportionate and as one increases, So does the other. |

The acquisition, Assimilation and utilization of knowledge (science) is an inherent human specialism and as such would be extremely difficult if not impossible to suppress.
Human knowledge is helping drive material evolution forwards. It would appear to be part of an inevitable process.
Do you mean government funded science?
Institutions?
Individuals?
You 'could make the argument that it is wrong to spend tax dollars on science that people see as useless.
