Where and When the Expired Were Thrown Out

Where and When the Expired Were Thrown Out is a moralistic novel about an engineered society in which the "expired," those persons whom the "social health inspectors" have deemed too old, sick, or defective for the survival of society, are "thrown out" of (banished from and euthanized by) society. In such a society, anyone who is old-fashioned, terminally ill, or mentally disordered can be legally killed.
