>We a species have finite resources and can't sink all of them into every patient. Every time we treat or don't treat someone (and it's not possible to treat everyone of everything), we're making implicit statement in the form of a mathematical inequality about how we value money against human life and quality of life.
We spend more on dog food than we do on millions of patients.
So, no, it's not a question of "finite resources".
Or, rather, it would be, if we were anywhere near exhausting our resources.
