It's worth noting, for 'number of people killed' statistics, that all of those people were going to die anyway, and many of them might have been about to die for some other reason.
Society kills about 56 million people each year from spending resources on things other than solving the 'death' problem.
Some of whom several decades later. (Loss of QALYs would be a better statistic, and I think it would be non-negligible.)
