This makes total sense. Clearly, medical care has to be withheld from elderly, as the cost-benefit argues that money better spent on younger patients. BUT, as according to the wise teachings of Imam Berman, society has NOT YET invested much resources into this 11 year old. After weighing the costs of Junior high, High school, college versus 10 cm open wound treatment, its just better for society that she be given blood thinners (quickens the result).
Well . . . not exactly all Americans.
