Now you're trading off against the defence of Ukraine (for example). How many Ukrainian soldiers lives is this child's life worth?
I think a big problem is you don't currently realise just how many different worthy causes are currently underfunded. At a guess you could probably spend a couple of trillion a year in the UK before you've exhausted most of the nice things that could be done. There are sooooo many good things to do and only so many person hours (which is what money pays for mostly) to do them.
If you did scrap the defence budget then the money shouldn't go on treating these kids but instead should be invested in the surgery backlogs, ambulance wait times and the justice system trial backlog.
