So I was discussing this with my room mate the other day. Now, the conversation did not bring up usefulness = being a good breeder, but we did discuss how the women all hate Mercy because she can have children. Before I go into what was said, I would like to point out that neither of us have read the books, and both of us really hate the whole women are little more than baby makers crap. That being said, she brought up an interesting point that although we choose, it is so ingrained into our society to have children that it's pretty much a subconscious thing now. She went on to tell me that even she got the urge to have children from time to time, and she knows that she doesn't actually want them. She also brought up that your view on procreation often changes once you are infertile, whether you wanted kids before hand or not. It's the whole your choice was taken from you thing.
