Which is a good thing, because it means most people are dying of old age.

You can't officially die of "old age" so if you avoid or survive everything else, eventually you are going die from cancer or heart disease. Problem is though, if you improve cancer treatment then more people will die of heart disease, and vice versa.

We really need a category for "died peacefully of advanced age", where we can try hard to increase the death rate.
