Biotechnology would replace toxic insecticides with supposedly safer toxins for killing beetles that may be harmful to the crops. Meanwhile‚ biotechnology makes planting easier and cheaper for the farmers‚ which makes the crops more affordable for the consumer. Although these biotech products have not been tested and could be toxic to those who eat them‚ the FDA only requires crops to have a "reasonable certainty of no harm." From an economical standpoint the biotechnological plant is the best for all
