1) Even faced with drastic penalty, parents will continue to bring crying babies into crowded theatre to annoy people.
2) Quietly slipping away is not a good enough escape plan. Instead, one must create drama such as being sentenced to death in public and then quietly slip away.
Show me the holes!
3) Pre-painting death chambers would remove a handful of people from the workforce.
share4) Computerized libraries of the future have forbidden subjects openly available to users so that hidden librarians can torture them even whether they look them up by accident or on purpose (as Reed does in the film).

lol, I know, I was wondering what the deal with that was too.
In the future...
1. Digging a tunnel under the execution area, allowing your neighbors to report you, and staging your execution in order to gain a 12 hour head start on persuit is totally better than;
a) just sneaking off during the night,
b) hiding the baby in the bomb shelter when the police come, or
c) killing your nosey neighbors who are threatening you with death.
2. It's ok to knowingly bring a baby into a polluted world with no food, as long as you keep it in a bomb shelter it's whole life or, even better, escape to an abandoned radioactive nuclear arms dump in a desert. That's good 21st century parenting!
3. Baby robots are very freaky and creepy!
4. Animals, such as cows and pigs, are extinct, but everyone still knows what steak and spaghetti bolognaise are supposed to taste like. ("We can put a man on the moon, but we can't make a decent tasting synthetic steak paste!")
5. It takes four years to get into a museum, and one hour to see everything. Kinda the opposite of today, isn't it?
6. The cities will be built on the rusting carcases of today's automobiles.
7. Criminal trials are unnecessary. All you need to execute someone is an angry mob around them pointing and screaming "Baby! Baby!" Sentencing and execution are immediate and carried out using a helecoptor carrying a huge, transparent, dome that is immediately painted red.
8. Handcuffs can be cut using hand-held gardening sheers.
9. A woman can completely disappear for six months, and nobody but your neighbors (who are also your coworkers) will notice.
When the world is dying from overpopulation, the heroes aren't those who see the problem and do something about it (banning childbirth for 30 years). No, the real heroes are those who flout the law and contribute to further overpopulation!
