There are about 6 billion people alive today. Almost all will be dead in 100 years, from natural or other causes. Many who won't be born for another 30-50 years could also be dead by 2106 from any number of natural conditions (cancer, heart, stroke etc). The number is obviously greater than 6 billion, but how much more? Double? Triple? That's a lot of graves.

Interesting question. I reason as follows::
There are 6.5 billion people alive. If we assume an average age of 30 and age at death of 60, the 6.5 billion people die every 30 years.
So in the 100 years about 6.5x 3 = 19.5 billion will die. Say 20 billion, to allow for increasing population.

The above assumes no atomic war during the period.

None dies from today with the medicine I sprayed into atmosphere. I made it from stem cells. All sick get cured.
