With that logic curing someone of a deadly disease at 10 is good for society because they have much to contribute, but curing someone at 80 is bad for society because their best contributions are behind - and they are a net resource drain. That’s not a good path to head down. (Cure a doctor he generates value, don’t cure a prisoner he drains value).
