Publisher's Synopsis
Kurt Vonnegut is considered one of the greatest science fiction writers of all-time, and was known for never shying away from controversy. Join us for a classic short story, in a future where aging has been "cured" and the population of the United States is controlled at forty million. In order for this to be maintained, children cannot be born unless someone first volunteers to die, to make room for them. Then, one day, a woman gives birth to triplets, and two parents must choose which of their children they must give up, or take matters into their own hands. Who will dial 2BR02B, the number for the Federal Bureau of Termination?
