Taken your argument to it's logical conclusion, keeping anyone alive is a bad idea. A child that is kept malaria free is in a better condition to create wealth, and provide goods and services than a child stricken with a delibitating illness.
Yes, keeping people alive is a bad idea, financially, the health corporations have been for a while, extremely high cost and considering they get their staff "Cheap" because most of them do it "Because we want to make a difference", I see little justification in the ever increasing costs and lower standards in healthcare.
As for your child, match that child up with the costs of fixing him after he falls ill, and to be quite honest whatever he produces in his life, if sold in his home country alone, he'd make a loss, I can see that prevention may be the cheaper option, but come on, nature isn't about "Safe", That's man's silly idea, nature is always trying to kill us, why else would we feel so happy after an adrenhaline rush? I commended on Cathy edgets(sp) Journal a while back when she had a vid up about the serenity of the natural world, but it's Never ever truely calm, We in Blighty decided some years back to kill all the beasts that do us harm (or were considerred capable of doing such) so now, instead of living life as we should, we have to build roller coasters, racetracks etc so a select few (usualy those with cash) can get the rush nature used to provide.
Kids are not dying of hunger so much , they are dying of infections brought on by living iin slums in close proximity to open sewers.
The very fact we have need to guide our shit elsewhere, surely should tell us we have too many on the planet, I'd have said.
