Biology Is Life !

Ronald is a farmer. He owns and operates a large farm that chiefly produces corn. It is time to plant his crop and he is considering what to order. He has to choose whether or not to plant and grow a genetically modified version of corn. A gene from a bacteria has been inserted into the corn to make it pesticide resistant. This would allow him to spray a larger amount of pesticides on his crop, thus killing insects and other pests without killing the plants themselves. It would increase his yield, resulting in greater profits. Times have been tough and he could use the extra money around the farm. However, he also wonders about the long-term effects of using genetically modified products and pesticides on the ecosystem.
