Death has killed only 109 out of 117 billion people who ever lived.
That's a mortality rate of just around 93% over all of human history, so we can't conclude that every human will eventually die.

I know I'm not dead. Lots of people I know aren't dead either. So I'm a bit skeptical about the whole thing.

Crazy that almost 7% of all humans who have ever existed are alive right now.
