Prediction: said "embryo" will not develop naturally once implanted in a gestational carrier. Mitosis will be random and uncontrolled, essentially becoming a tumor. The poor woman conned into carrying the "embryo" will require a hysterectomy to remove the abomination bonded to her uterine wall. No baby, sterile woman. They will continue this until fertile women become a commodity. Then we will ACTUALLY be living A Handmaid's Tale.
I haven't seen the show, but the book was on a required reading list in high school. The whole premise is that women worldwide are afflicted with sterility. Fertile women become second class citizens, effectively property. The wealthy elites trade the handmaids, who are indoctrinated from an early age to accept this as right and proper, and are kept illiterate so they never discover the truth. That's all I can remember. It was almost 15 years ago that I read it.

That show is garbage. Better reference is Children of Men
Show? I was talking about a book. I do know the movie you're talking about though.
Haven't actually consumed either. Watched enough of the show to realize it was straight propaganda. Was the book as bad?

The book was an allusion to the Iranian theocracy.
Margaret Atwood's anti-Reagan screed became a movie and them a Hulu series.
