What is lost from a dead young adult is all the investment into the person, basically 30 years worth of life experience and work gone. A dead baby is a 9 month ordeal + however long the mother will grief and the community would. However, for the young adult, it would be everyone he had a connection with and the community that would grief. So even here, the calculus doesn't make sense.
