Logically, there is no reason for children to get priority.
The book American Psycho describes it best, saying that while a child has potential to live a meaningful life, an older person is already living that potential. More grief is cast upon the dead adult who has responsibilities, larger social network, and more family members (including dependents) than a child.
If I was on a sinking cruise ship and it was either me or some 5 year old boy who still wets his bed occasionally, he's going to have to fight me for the last seat. I have a popular blog to maintain, damn it.
