How much money should governments spend to keep a patient alive one more month? If you've actually thought this through then you should be able to reply with a specific number. Resources are limited so anything spent on caring for those patients can't be spent on other priorities. And don't try to weasel out of the question by claiming that we need to raise taxes or cut military spending or whatever; no matter what we do with other budget line items the answer always has to come down to a specific number.
