That We'll All Die of Something

According to Ben Carson in his book "Take The Risk", p. 61 the odds that we will die of something  at some point in our lives is in a ratio of 1:1. This is because the risks are just too many around us.  Let's consider the ratios of our dying of the following risks:

Cancer: 1 in 500
Drowning: 1 in 50,000
Riding your bicycle: 1 in 130,000
N ieplNW XEah ` in 1:250,000
In your bathtub: 1 in 1,000,000
Falling out of bed: 1 in 2,000,000
Freezing to death 1 in  3,000,000
Struck by lightning (if you are a man) 1 in 2,000,000
                            (if you are  a woman) 1 in 10,000,000
Rabies (in the US): 1 in 100,000,000
A foreign object inadvertently left in your body during surgery 1 in 80,000,000, (far lower in Nigeria!)
A falling meteror roughly 1 in 5,000,000
Schacharin sweetner is dangerous but the same volume of sugar for sweetening is more dangerous!
Aspirin causes stomach ulcers, yet we are advised to take aspirin to avoid stroke
The process of giving birth to a child by a woman is one of the riskiest of of all risks because the woman dies, then the baby comes out of her, then she comes to life again Yet women will always opt for pregnancy!  (my own addition)

So whichever way we tilt, there's danger, it is simply a matter of being knowledgeable enough to consider their level of severity and whether we can tolerate them or not.  So, again, whether we like it or not we all take risks!  Good moni.
