Yes, but it's also humiliating for the wives as well. And I think it's far worse to realize that you will continually have babies that will be torn away from you at birth.

It would have been a better show if they had not choosen to remove so much of the technology that was clearly available and needed since they want to have kids.  I mean test tube babies are already a thing and there are plenty of frozen embryos around today.

It's just too hard to suspend my disbelief at this point.[/quote]

You might not be aware, but according to many churches today, in 2017, IVF is considered a sin.
The lack of reproductive technology in Gilead is clearly a "moral" choice not a technological one.[/quote]

If it's only a moral choice then why would Mexico want to buy the Handmaidens?  I think it's both a moral and technological choice.  [/quote]

So they've deviated from the Mexico/note to Luke storyline a bit the past few episodes... thoughts?  I keep waiting for Serena Joy to figure everything out with the commander and Offred and it still hasn't happened...[/quote]

I think- based on the prior handmaiden having killed herself, and on Ofwarrens death over belief that she and her commander would be a family, AND the comment by Warrens wife (forget her name) to Serena Joy about "everyone knows what happened to your last handmaid" I think SJ not only knows her husband is unfaithful, but for some reason it's to her benefit right now to keep quiet. I don't think she will be quiet much longer....[/quote]

Yes, I believe she knows and she is just keeping quiet. I would guess if she makes a fuss than the Commander might divorce her under some false premise will she committed adultery and then she herself would end up being sent to the colonies maybe?

Also, it appears she really wants a baby and sometimes that desire can trump the concern over a cheating husband.

I will be interested to see where next season goes with the story line.  It seems like Canada is normal and I wonder about other countries as well. Are the US and Mexico the only countries that have turned to the bizarre Gilead thing?[/quote]
