I am not quite as sure as you are on this point, as I have the impression or believe that especially the weakest often have a strong belief in a better afterlife. And regardless of whether their ideas of the afterlife (which I do not share as an atheist) come true, I assume that for such people it cannot be so bad to be left behind, since they believe that (soon) something really great is coming and they will be rewarded for their pain, suffering, deprivations, etc. I am of the opinion that for "people like me" ;-) it is much worse. ;-)What can really happen is that the weakest (economically, technologically) get left behind. That is an ethical disaster.
In my opinion, the supposedly weakest among humans are not necessarily inferior to or sacrificed to the strongest; for example, if they are convinced that something much better awaits them in the afterlife. I think that really makes strong or at least should (otherwise it wouldn't make sense ;-) ). I have not fully grasped the concept of an afterlife world in all its consequences yet, but I am happy for anyone who believes in it and sometimes wonder why they are still here. ;-)... in which indeed the weakest are sacrificed for the survival of the strongest.
