Yet her decision is still rather selfish, as she only considers her own children, willing to make a deal with the CAB while still allowing the organization to continue to take away other children. Monday weighs her siblings' lives against those of her children and decides that her children are more important. Tuesday is also found alive and is kept hostage as a way to ensure that Monday won't back out. Once again, the human dilemma of want versus need comes to play. Instead, Monday is repeating her grandfather's mistakes, turning her sisters in because she is pregnant with twins and wants to protect them.
Is it because she suddenly develops support for the CAB's drive to stop overpopulation? No. Monday is found alive and well, but it's then revealed that Monday is the one who initially gives away her sisters' location to Nicolette Cayman (Glenn Close), the head of the CAB. Yes, they get to stay together and live, but having to lead such an overly controlled lifestyle rather than thriving on their own terms begins to negatively affect them. But on top of that, it isn't even especially beneficial to the siblings. For Terrence, his motivation to keep his grandchildren alive outweighs the knowledge that he is breaking the law and further adding to the dreaded overpopulation dilemma. This lifestyle, which the girls manage to keep going for the next 30 years or so, brings about the film's major conflict between fulfilling selfish, moral desires over the needs of society and the global population.
This also includes making sure each child appears identical in every way, including blemishes and injuries. At the end of the day, they must give one another detailed reports of their day for the following days' siblings to be aware of. Each child, named after a day of the week, will be able to leave the house on the day that correlates with their name (Monday goes out Monday, Tuesday on Tuesday, etc.), with all of them assuming the identity of their mother, Karen, when they are outside.
