Ahhh i've been asking this question for an hour and nobody has answered. , i need it : (

a team of scientists altered the dna of e. coli bacteria. the bacteria thus developed had the ability to generate insulin exactly identical to the human insulin molecule. what could be the likely impact of this biotechnology on the individual and the society?

the medical costs for insulin-dependent patients would rise.
large-scale insulin could be produced in relatively lesser time.
the price of insulin available from sources other than bacteria may fall.
the patients who take insulin may become infected with e. coli bacteria.
