What is the average life expectancy for a 72-year-old man with a bad temper and 4 previous cancer problems?

Question

Would you already be planning the funeral?

Answer 1

I doubt if any insurance company would touch him with a barge pole which is quite telling.You forgot to add suffering from post traumatic stress.

Answer 2

Yes, i guess.

Answer 3

Nope.  Presidents don't tend to die before leaving office unless someone shoots them.  I think there was only one president who died in office without being shot.  I'd bet Obama would die in office before McCain.  Kennedy got shot in the head and he was just a Catholic.  Imagine how motivated angry white supremacists would be if there was a black president.

Answer 4

Sounds like someone I know.

Answer 5

Even without a temper and cancer the life expectancy of men in the US is around 72 years old, and lower in less developed countries.  Perhaps factor in any hereditary health issues, but to sum it up I would not be making "long-term" plans if I were him.

Answer 6

Replacing all his internal organs with ones purchased on the cheap from our future supreme leaders in China may prolong the inevitable.  

Answer 7

To correct a previous poster.  Four presidents have died in office without being assassinated.  William Hentry Harrison (68) died from pneumonia 30½ days after taking office.  Zachary Taylor  (65) died from gastroenteritis 16 months after taking office.  Warren Harding (57) died from a heart attack 2½  years after taking office.  FDR (63) died from a massive cerebral hemorrhage 3 months into his 4th term.

Answer 8

8 years tops

Answer 9

You looking for a place in the will so you want him dead soon?  

Answer 10

well i expect it will be long enough to win the election

and i suspect his health is being monitored quite closely

i hope he has a long life ahead of him ...... eight as president and some years in peaceful retirement

is the fact that obama might live for another thirty years enough to elect him?  

Answer 11

About the same life expectancy of a child hit by a car or a teen drinking and driving or a young mother with cancer or a dad in a job-related accident or......

If you like to plan for funerals, you might get to work on planning yours.

Answer 12

Three years at best. The only thing to make him live longer is control his cholesterol better and keep him out of the sun, and give him tranquilizers to keep his bad temper in check to prevent a stroke.If he dies we are really in deep ****, even if he wins also.

Answer 13

8 years in the White House.
