"You should know that 9 out of 10 people who undergo this surgery will die. But don't worry, the last 9 people who took this surgery all died, so you're in the clear!"

Technically 1 out of 1 people who undergo that procedure die, eventually. Same is true for people who elect not to have the procedure done, eventually.

That's not confirmed. Only about 93% of people who ever lived died so far.

Death rate is also strongly correlated with when you were born. Weโ€™ve gotten much better at not being dead in the last 100 years. For people born in 1924 the death rate is nearly 100%, but for people born in 2024 it has dropped close to zero!

Being alive has both a 100% morbidity rate and a 100% mortality rate.
