We are as afraid of death as we are morbid attraction. Something that accompanies us throughout our lives, two indissoluble events of the human condition. We are born and we die and that is something we are sure of. And we begin to die from the moment we are born. Seen in a more positive light, we begin to live from the moment we are born. Death, of course, is something taboo. So taboo, and natural, like sex, for example. But even so, it continues to attract us like flies to honey.
A world map of births and deaths in real time
On the Internet we have access to death. If we look for what happens when our head hurts, it will tell us that we have a brain tumor, even if it is a simple headache. Do you want websites with images of deaths? You have it. Gore? In abundance. Accidents, deep wounds? A whole gallery of horror. The human being is like that. Morbid, by definition.
However, we can also make a much more pedagogical 'use of death' or, if you want to see it that way, more curious. Less harmful to the viewer's sensitivity. And we have found this plot here. A website that simulates, in real time, births and deaths that occur live all over the world . A practical way to see how the world population oscillates and which countries lead in births… and deaths.
Worldbirthsanddeaths is the name of this very curious website in which we can dive through the life and death of the planet. You just have to enter the link that we attached and let the screen reveal the information. Quickly, and with the only order of time, births and deaths will appear in the form of a sign. At the top of the web, the ranking of countries that have the honor of more babies and deaths. At the time of writing, India led the way in births with 183. In terms of deaths, China takes home the accolade, with 68 deaths.
