The foremost and most severe concern for anyone taking valproic acid is its potential for sudden and severe, possibly fatal, fulminating impairments in liver and impairments of hematopoietic or pancreatic function, especially in those just starting the medication.

I am one of the founders of Russian Longevity party. I dont think russian transhumanists are very rich. Also there is a big difference between what anyone have and what he invests in the projects. For example i live in appartment that costs half a millon dollars and I own it. But I am not going to sell it or even rent for some resons (I have large art collection which I keep here). I decided that I will invest time, but not money in russian longevity party. Another cofounder of our party is Michael Batin and he owns a lot of land—but it is illiquid asset. Batin spent a lot on Macciarini organ regeneration operation for example. Also russian transhumaists are known for hystory of uneffective spending mostly on lifeextension projects. I spent last year 10k usd to go to NY to singularity summit, mostly on expensive hotels. If my social skill were better I could find free accomodation. I dont think Itzkov is billioner. I estimate his fortune in 10 million USD.

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.
