"Or do we recognize that our society has limited resources and decide that those resources should not be used ... "

No. That is the position of materialistic utilitarians but it is far from an established fact of our experience.

We have been challenged through the centuries of our story or his-tory or whose ever story it is, to find ways to survive with what we have and to rearrange what we have, so that we don't have to start eliminating the expendable human beings who don't quite measure up, don't quite qualify as one-of-us or what ever. To the extent that we have chosen to sacrifice others in order to enable a particular quality of life for ourselves, we have defined the inhumanity within. It is based on the most insidious kind of self serving greed.
