The way this really works in medicine is that they determine the solution that will result in the greatest number of quality person years. So if you have an older person with lots of health problems and a younger person who only has the current problem, obviously saving the younger, healthier one will have the greatest positive impact. This got used during COVID with the ventilators and is a consideration for eligibility for donor organs.
