Examine the following scenario. A software development company has created a 3-D touchscreen digital imaging program that will help surgeons to accurately pinpoint surgical areas and create less invasive surgery procedures. The R&D work has been funded by both private and government grants. Now, it is time to begin manufacturing the product. The company can choose to build and manufacture in the U. S., or manufacture internationally for a lower cost.

In at least one hundred and fifty words, make an argument for the company to manufacture domestically. Use the information you have gained about government policies and the impact of innovation on society in your argument.
