I agree with you, I don't know why you've been down voted. A will to live is actually one of the most important factors in surviving any injury or even any psychological upset. It's a really strange phenomenon if you think about it. Conceptually you'd think you would die from a fatal injury whether or not you wanted to live, or that you would survive if your injury was not fatal or if you had no injury at all, but that psychological component of wanting to die vs. not wanting to die can tip the scales to the other end, miraculously. I suppose the most extreme example is suicide in otherwise healthy adults.
