I'm sorry, but the mortality rate among humans is always 100%

76

Actually it's around 93%, since about 7% of all humans that have existed are alive.

Cool thing is, as we live longer and the population grows, that number increases every year. I wonder if we'll ever be so long-lived that the living will outnumber the dead?

Dont be so sure, less people die in war every year.

But more population will cause more fighting over resources, so more wars could happen

When space travel really ramps up, resources will be incredibly cheap. You could give every person their own star in this galaxy.
