If you take the view that human life is sacred, that it is infinitely valuable, then all lives are equal.

infinity time 60 years of life left equals infinity
infinity times 1 year of life left equals infinity

So you can't hold the view that human life is sacred and then say "women and children first." Well, I suppose one could hold that view, but they would be wrong.
