What's the title or author of story where suicides get the comment "That's evolution in action"?

[Quisizyx]

Greets- Read a story where freedom was a concern and discussed. Suicides merely garnered the comment "That's evolution in action". It's been awhile and can't remember further details of plot, story line, or characters. If anyone remembers the title or author from this little bit in clues please tell me as it has been warting me for some time.

Thanx.

Niven/Pournell 'Oath of Fealty'? Though the phrase was 'think of it as evolution in action' and the recipients were not deliberately committing suicide, more winning a Darwin award for stupidity.
