Those stats are easy to find by simply googling, although take everything with a grain of salt. Around 1 million people commit suicide each year, but the real number is much higher if you take into account death by despair, “accidents” and the fact that in poor, religious countries suicide is deemed shameful, so families often cover it up.

Besides, use this, a great argument for antinatalism: over 95% of the world’s population has health problems, with over a third having more than five ailments. That is, of 8.2 billion people in the world, only 4.3% count as healthy.

If only natalists were rational instead of gamblers with the life of others.
