For topics like this, I recommend making use of a unit called “quality-adjusted years of life.” We can never ultimately reduce instances of death except by reducing the birth rate or breaking the second law of thermodynamics.
Where the limitation from laws of thermodynamics is a relevant idea, quality-adjusted years of life isn’t.

If you allow quality to be greater than 1, it might be. Computation becomes uncertain, though.
