It is entirely possible that a goy is allowed to make that kind of choice when treating a fellow goy. I have no reason to think otherwise. The torah teaches that the value of the life of an 18 year old yid is not necessarily greater than that of a 60 year old yid. But the value of the life of a goy may very well be judged by an entirely different standard. The sheva mitzvos benei noach (or sevara) do not indicate otherwise. As for being an ohr lagoyim I agree with yitay. The source for ohr lagoyim in Yeshaya 60 (and other places) also seems to be speaking of something which will happen on its own.
