I was wondering about the wife, who like most other women didnt have kids. She looked of childbearing age. She's totally ok with the lottery system? No sense of entitlement for an embryo as the President's wife. Struck me as a bit odd
Your mom's chest hair!
She looked older than 32

She is still in childbearing age but the lottery has restrictions and from a best chances point of view the older you are the more complications you will have during a pregnancy. That is why the cut off was 32. It should have also started at around age 21 because teens have a slightly higher risk of having a child with birth defects.

But that is when they are the providing the genetic material. Not many teens act as surrogates, in fact most ban women who have not given birth from being surrogates, so there really isn't data on that.

Maybe she is befriending the blond Texas wild child because she plans to try to skew the lottery so she gets a child, a child she can't raise because she is a wild child, allowing her friend, MRS POTUS to adopt? share
That's my conclusion, also.
'I wear the cheese; the cheese does not wear me.'
So they going to pay the "wild child girl" tons of money so the Pres. wife could get a baby - adopt? I have a feeling IF that happens "wild child girl" does end up getting chosen "wins" a baby (which is what this whole thing is about-- the American people are voting) she will disappear. I think that she would probably die in a "freak accident" after the First Lady "adopts" the child. Otherwise, you know that "wild child girl" may open her mouth about why she has so much money and no baby. I hope I make sense - the show is good, but crazy (I love it though). This whole administration is corrupt, and it seems like the President is oblivious or confused looking all the time; Darius is so freaking evil especially after last night's episode, the lies he told Nathan's father about him being a hero by taking down a few terrorist (what a load of crap) and Nathan's father believes him now AND he wants the President assassinated, so it may work well for the wife (I hope she's NOT in on the assassination of her husband). I don't think she is - she just wants a child.
shareThe required age to be president is 35 so the First Lady is probably older than medically advised to carry a child at this point.

Its been so long I don't remember how I managed to ask her and still think I was being tactful -- but I asked her about the stats on older moms.
I just looked up the numbers for a 40 year old woman having a baby and they were: 1% chance for down syndrome and 1.58% for all other abnormalities. That means it is more likely that the baby will be fine.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
