I never would have thought of it that way, but I see the logic in it. I'm not sure it outweighs the drawbacks of leading people to be selective from the get-go about whose lives they save, but as I said, where I come from, we don't exactly have an excess of human beings to spare.
[Even knowing that the person he's talking to isn't human, doesn't look human, and originated from something entirely unrelated to humans, this still prompts a rather violent reorienting of his mental image. The mention of dragons and the curious female-default hypothetical brings to mind something like a deathclaw matriarch.]
