You don't want to live in a world where doctors have the discretion of choosing who deserves to be treated.

They should treat the patients that come in. All things being equal, they should treat the ones who need it first and in the order they come in at. If supplies start running out, they should triage. They do NOT choose who deserves to be helped.
