Seems plausible enough to me. In general, it seems we've somewhat more reason to benefit existing people than to create (and thereby benefit) new people. I don't know why it would matter how long the person has existed for. You can still imagine them looking at you, appalled, the complaint "You jerk!" just starting to form on their lips as they die in your arms because you figured you might as well replace them with someone else who would be marginally happier...
