Yes, this is fair. I was implicitly assuming something about the distribution of life expectancies. The relevant figure seems to be 55 years. I’ll modify my post accordingly.
I agree. The figure of 55 years is the life expectancy of a baby. Child mortality rates are around 10%. So the life expectancy of the people saved is something like 60 years.

Is that life expectancy of a baby, or life expectancy of a five-year-old?
What you really need to know is the remaining life expectancy of the people you save.
