SOLVED. YA Fiction, school book from the 2000s? About a "perfect" colony in the snow

[Sebine]

It's either a book or a short story, about a "perfect little" colony
Everyone has a job and does it "without complaint"

Girl was trained to be a doctor, her first job was to euthanize a twin because "there can't be two of a person in the colony"

I think the protagonist, a boy, and her ran away with the child, into the snow, to a different colony
