What Are the Odds?
I secured this info from various sources and tried to get the most up to date. In most cases, statistics haven't been calculated since 2004-2005.
Of course these odds do not take into account where you live, family history, or any of the other things that raise/lower the odds. Its general shtuff.
I'm not sure if its scarier that I have a disease that is in the Top 5 or if you are more likely to die from "medical care complications" than from assault.
