"I wish people wouldn't call it 'the Catbox,' and things like that," she
said. "It gives people the wrong impression."

"You're absolutely right," said Dr. Hitz. "Forgive me." He corrected
himself, gave the municipal gas chambers their official title, a title
no one ever used in conversation. "I should have said, 'Ethical Suicide
Studios,'" he said.

"That sounds so much better," said Leora Duncan.

"This child of yours--whichever one you decide to keep, Mr. Wehling,"
said Dr. Hitz. "He or she is going to live on a happy, roomy, clean,
rich planet, thanks to population control. In a garden like that mural
there." He shook his head. "Two centuries ago, when I was a young man,
it was a hell that nobody thought could last another twenty years. Now
centuries of peace and plenty stretch before us as far as the
imagination cares to travel."
This excerpt is from the short story 2BRO2B. In the short story they talk about how in order to stabilize human population that they made it a rule that in order to have children you need to have some one kill themselves in order to keep the world at a perfect population in the world. Though in the story we are introduced to a man who is having triplets the only problem with this is that he only has his grandfather who is volunteering to die for his children, but he needs 3 volunteers in order to keep all of his children. How do we decide who lives or dies? This is the problem with biotechnology we are playing the role of God to much and it is very unnatural to do so. How can we only chose one of our children to live because no one has volunteered to die? Also who wants to live forever, why would we ever against nature, I think that its just wrong and that the world and nature was made to balance out everything. That is why we age and eventually die so we dot over populate the world but when we eliminate this we also eliminat the balance of nature and the world and that's why we shouldn't tamper biotechnology because it was not made to be tampered with.
