Well, but isn't it hardwired in the nature of each living organism to survive at any cost and live as long as possible? Each creature, even the tiniest bug has some sort of defense mechanism built in, not to welcome others to kill it or eat it, but specifically to defend against such a behavior.
The difference between us and any other animals is that we use our brains in extremely wise way. We colonized the world and technically are standing on the top of animal tree. It would be only logical to use that brain to solve human's nature biggest issue: how to live longer, or forever.
I want me and my family to live forever, because that's how much I love them and love my life. I am not certain whats after death. If you don't believe in existence of any nonphysical creations like spirits, soul, hell or heaven, then nothing exist after death, nothing. Your brain falls apart into dust and since your brain is you and your world, your world ends.
Another reason to keep people living longer is because medicine is constantly pushing the envelope. There are TEDs videos of scientists literally printing human liver and other elements of body. Truly science-fiction stuff, yet real.
I think in 100 years from now, we will be immortal. Of course that causes the biggest challenges ever, like how to feed everyone, how to accommodate people, etc, but there is tremendous improvement in those sectors happening as well, so most likely we will be ready.
