Estimates suggest around 117–120 billion people have ever been born, while only about 8 billion are alive today, meaning roughly 93% of all humans are dead. So statistically, if you're alive today, there's a 7% chance that you'll live forever.

That's not what the statistics indicate.

Not at all.

7% have uncertain lifetimes, >= (current value).
