You should check those numbers
And really, in the end, the global death rate is 100%—everyone dies.
[everyone dies eventually, so to save money let's all go in on a single gravestone together]
… or do they? Strictly speaking, the observed death rate for the human condition is something like 93%—that is, around 93% of all humans have died. This means the death rate among humans who were not members of The Beatles is significantly higher than the 50% death rate among humans who were.
Eight billion people currently have this condition, and they’ve all survived so far.
You can say that experiencing life is, in fact, necessary for death
Well if you define death as "not existing" then 100% of people who don't experience life are also dead.
Nonexistent is different from death. You have to have previously been alive to die.
Life is the most fatal condition for ~~humans~~ life.
