People keep going on about living for the sake of loved ones but a terrifying amount of elderly people don't get the visitors to show for it. A lot of families would rather ignore them until it's time to say goodbye once they become too difficult to interact with regularly. And a lot of people would rather die comfortably or suddenly at an old age than die choking on their own fluids surrounded by family at an even older age. Although I draw my line a bit further down (and am pro-cybernetics for various reasons), I can see why invasive augmentation is where some people do. I don't plan on surviving some treatable cancers if I get diagnosed simply because merely existing as a worn out husk from the strain of the treatment is not worth the burden on my family and myself. Other cancers have a treatment that is worth trying to fight through. Managing a pacemaker is just not a fight they want to have.
