2BRO2B: Where utopia and dystopia coalesce.Imagine a world where every birth and death is controlled and monitored, sounds scary... but there were interesting parts like the fact that human beings want to reproduce without thinking of consequences. Though I wouldnt want anyone to control both birth and death. This is my first book from Vonnegut, and I think I really like his way of writing. Quotes: The law said that no newborn child could survive unless the parents of the child could find someone who would volunteer to die. Triplets, if

My first read by Vonnegut. Vonnegut presents a dark vision of the future. This is a short story about population control and the dilemma that a father of newborn have to face with.
A dark humor short story that offers some thinking about a utopia.
This is an dystopian thinker of short story that takes all of about 15 minutes to read, even if youre slow like me.

The Federal Bureau of Termination provides several ways for people to die if they'd like to give up their life for a newborn. One man is at the hospital waiting for his wife to give birth to triplets, but he doesn't have enough volunteers to die
