Before looking at the ethics of medical triage, look at these statistics:
So as Canada's population ages, the government has been CUTTING the number of doctors per capita to save money for things like baseball parks, highways, and world travel.
Canada has some of the best photographers, hairdressers, tour guides, hedge fund mangers, and PR people. But we don't bother with doctors because... they're so expensive and high end. Meanwhile, Russia and Cuba.... have more than double the number of doctors as Canada (or the USA) per capita.
Is having more doctors and hospital beds important, or do we just need more and more drugs?

Judaism, Christianity and Islam - all three accepted and promoted slavery and genocide,
so they will have no problems with human extinction either.
