Random side-effects are a part of reality. It's dangerous to assume that corporations deploying GM technology: a) have accounted for dangerous side-effects, b) are concerned about anything beyond the bottom line. For example, Monsanto's Roundup Ready GM technology leaks into the wild via pollen such that Monsanto brings charges against farmers who didn't plant GM grain because they are using Monsanto technology without paying fees to Monsanto (http://www.percyschmeiser.com/conflict.htm http://www.percyschmeiser.com/conflict.htm). And, for further consideration, Monsanto has had plans to develop seedless technology so that the farmer would always have to buy their seeds from Monsanto - what if that got into the wild? This is one corporation. I don't see how we can monitor them all adequately to prevent a colossal problem. And all it will take is one big mistake (see BP and the Gulf of Mexico). Still think the gain is worth the risk?
