A better question might be "Is there a number of random people you don't know that you would die to save?" E.g., 100 random strangers somewhere throughout the world.
I'd be surprised if most people would substitute their life to save even a million random strangers.

that would depress me very much. I think I would die for 10 random strangers, although I know people who would do it for 2.

You can save some random person's life for, I believe, about a $250 donation (I can try to find the link if someone wants it). This means that whenever you purchase anything for $250 or more (regardless of how much you already give to charity), you are essentially condemning a person to death so that you can have a material good.
Have you ever purchased something that costs more than $2,500? You are not sitting on a new sofa, you're sitting on the bodies of 10 dead africans.
