2 Br02 B by Kurt Vonnegut

In a sterile future where death has been all but eliminated and births are tightly regulated, a man is forced to confront a brutal policy: for each new life legally allowed, an old or willing person must die through a government-run system. When his wife delivers triplets he must navigate indifferent bureaucracy, social pressure, and wrenching moral choices about who will be sacrificed to make room for the children, yielding a bleak, ironic meditation on the value of life, autonomy, and the costs of a supposedly utopian order.
