There is a Radio Lab episode about this! I thought on balance they said the total number of people who had lived was almost the same as the number of people living today, (caveat it’s been a while since I listened to it.
Here is the link: [Radio Lab – “Body Count”](https://radiolab.org/episodes/body-count)
EDIT: they were talking about *just* the USA. They say there will be more dead than alive in 2060, but for now they claim there are more alive than dead.
