Unless your situation is far from typical, your probability of death within a year at age 42 is far less than 1%.
The table suggest probability of 0,2 per cent for 42, but as I have very high blood pressure, live in a country with medium man life expectancy around 60-65, and my parents died at 63 and 73, I feel that my situation is not so good.
Assuming that you live in Russia (since you wrote you are signed up with Cryorus) you have to keep in mind that the low male life expectancy of your country is probably related to high alcohol consumption, which is a risk factor that you can control.
Ok. My link was also for the USA and you are correct that there would be differences in other countries.
Given how campaign finance laws work, doesn't Zoltan run into trouble if he raises money from foreign nationals?
Wouldn't it be better to just reduce your probability of death using existing technologies? 65 is a really low life expectancy for somebody who has already survived to 42.
