It makes sense for a capitalist system that is stagnating/with very low growth or heading towards a slump and no sight of "a new economy" to resume growth. It would be relieved from "unproductive" people, the "strains" on pensions and elderly care, etc. Consider it part of restructuring!
Like with austerity, in "normal" times some/many people have to pay for the economic crisis, shiphoning more wealth to the top 1%, saving the banks, corruption, etc. That was part of the priorities. Now some people have to be "sacrificed" during an exceptional situation.
"UK doctors may be forced to decide who to save"
