There is no objective "ethically correct" anything.

You'll say one thing is "ethically correct", and someone else will say the exact opposite thing is "ethically correct".

Neither of you is right, and neither of you is wrong.

Given limited resources, you don't think it's undeniably "ethically correct" to direct those resources where they are more effective?

  • It doesn't matter what I think. My point is that ethics are subjective, not objective.

    • Let me word it another way then.

      Given limited resources, don't you think it's undeniably correct to direct those resources where they are more effective?

That's correct. Luckily, objectivity is not necessary.
