The latter is just a far, far smaller harm per person—far less than 1⁄100 as great.
Surely it makes more sense to compare the upside—someone forming a long lasting and loving relationship.
Maybe that’s extreme, but taking a balance of outcomes I doubt it would be 1⁄100.
Also strange that you chose to say 1⁄100 and also 100x as many people—surely if you have high confidence in those numbers then that would balance out by definition? Or is the somewhere where you think this sort of scale insensitivity is valid?
