FIX: $P1, $P2, etc. are probabilities of dying at some age. To get the mortality rate from that, you need to compute

global P1live = 1-$P1

Then, the Probability of living is 1-($P1live * $P2live * ... ) up to Pa - the highest age under consideration.

What $P1 * $P2 *... calculates a fun, nonsensical probability about dying at multiple ages (missing the whole Prob(dying at age 2 | died at age 1) part...

I should just admit that I was never that good at probability calculations. My bad.
