Agreed—valuation of a life is more complex than “unwilling to commit suicide”. But the fact that it’s SO rare is at least some indication that people generally value their expected remainder of natural life more than nonexistence for that period. It’s confounded by social/religious delusions, but so is any attempt to evaluate whether a life is worth living.
