That's what I don't get either but I "think" the women (or the people in general) were experimented on to see if transferring a mutant's DNA to another body is possible and they'd often die in the process of doing so. I'm pretty sure at the end, the ones who were alive ended up getting released from the shackles and all and lived a decent life.
probably to make them pregnant, 20-25 year old women, ofc.
and then gettting those mutants and taking their dna into the women to make babies that grow very fast. and the taking them inro a tube filled with something, idk.
i think thats the reason why. when we finally see whats one the ceiling we could see tubes extending from their bodies. probably
So wait what even was the point of the women. I understand they were experimented on and killed, but what happened to them? They weren’t mutants so there wasn’t power to take from them and they didn’t become the delivery knights in the end. So..?
