We all get to find out how dangerous or safe it might be. Of course there couldn't be any unforeseen problems with health or the fragile ecosystems that have developed over millions or even billions of years. And best of all, no testing means increased profits for the patent holders and corporate shareholders. That means they can more easily dominate the marketplace and further limit the already shrinking genetic heritage of naturally cultivated seedstocks. Eventually we'll all be totally dependent on their patented man made food stuffs. Everyone (who owns the patents) wins!
