The Giver question

So first of all if you haven't finished the book stop reading now if you have great.



So the way the book presents Release was disturbing for me with the whole putting down a newborn baby thing but it was definitely an important part of the story but I feel like there could have been a better and less upsetting way of presenting the concept of Release like maybe a criminal or one of the old being released but that still wouldn't be that ideal so I'm starting this discussion cause I don't want to ponder it to much with my lacking mental capacity.
