I wanted to counter this with the fact that you and me are both still alive, so the rate is only approaching 100%, but probably never quite there. Then I did a safety google, and got to learn that fatality rate apparently doesn't care about the time until death. So as long as I don't assume I'm immortal, your fact still holds true. But then I remembered that some jellyfish and sponges are considered to be be more or less immortal. Which raises the question: do we count beings which will most probably die out due to the expansion of our own sun as part of that 100% rate?

A surprisingly large portion of all humans who ever lived are alive today (the first result I found says 7%)!

I think we are approaching Ship of Theseus territory.

But more specifically I was referring to the human rate.
