My thought on this statement is that the governing body should be allowed to do what it takes to keep the citizens safe. For them to be able to do anything they want is wrong. In our days now I feel like they do what they want when they want. For example cities or towns go through things like no clean water because things that shouldn't be dumped near their houses are being dumped there. That type of situation puts the whole town in danger because dangerous chemicals is getting in the water. In the book none of those girls should have to be there if they choose not to. Most of the girls are getting brainwashed into thinking that everything they have to do is right when it's not. I would hate to be in Offred situation knowing that she does not have mother nor her daughter due to her society. The women literally do everything in secret and they are monitored it seems like all the time. For example in chapter 25 they talk about the handmaid's using butter for their hands and he technically laughs about which makes Offred upset. Citizens anywhere in the world should feel safe because we are leaving it all up to the governor body to insure that everything will be fine. Things should never get out of hand the way this dystopia is in Handmaids Tale and we should never get to a point (again) where anyone doesn't have rights to their freedom.
