Costs less to produce, making it easier to grow or import to developing countries.
Saves Money
-
Some GM plants can survive RoundUp, while it kills the weeds.
-
-
GM animals can be engineered to make healthier milk (cows) or take less food and leave less of an impact on the environment.
Concern

Claim: GMOs can and will help developing countries with starvation and help world hunger and with their health.
Counter-Claim: What if there are negative side effects that could hurt or possibly kill the children instead of help them?
Counter Argue: It may or may not hurt them, but it would be better to have some food with a small side-effect or have no food at all. And it is not 100% certain that it will have a side-effect or any negatives at all, in-fact Monsanto is still working on it.
Evidence: An example of my claim is, "Golden rice is a variety of rice produced through genetic engineering to produce vitamin A, in the edible parts of rice. It is intended to produce a fortified food to be grown and consumed in areas with a shortage of dietary vitamin A, a deficiency which is estimated to kill 670,000 children under the age of 5 each year"
