"2 B R 0 2 B" is a futuristic short story by Kurt Vonnegut. It is set in a society in which aging has been cured, individuals have indefinite lifespans, and population control is used to limit the population of the United States to forty million, which is maintained through a combination of government measures. In short, for someone to be born, someone must first volunteer to die. As a result, births are few and far between, and deaths occur primarily by accident.
