A community member can be released in "The Giver" for various reasons, such as being unable or unwilling to conform to the rules of the society, displaying disruptive behavior, or posing a threat to the stability of the community. Ultimately, the decision to release a member is made by the Council of Elders, who determine if the individual no longer fits into the structured environment of the community.

Twins are not acceptable in the community in "The Giver" because they disrupt the balance and sameness that the society seeks to maintain. One twin is released, which means they are euthanized.

The Giver can only ask for release when he has given all his memories to Jonas. If he were to get released sooner, all the memories he had currently would be spread throughout the Community. Since the Community lives its life with no color, sound, feelings, or memories, if what the Giver had in his mind got released, the Community would turn to chaos. That is also why Jonas can't ask for release.
In "The Giver," the Ceremony of Loss is a ritual held to acknowledge the loss of a community member who has been released (killed). It serves as a way for the community to grieve the loss and to maintain order and control by reinforcing the idea that individual lives are secondary to the needs of the community.
