Not sure about that.
This is under-reported but there is a very high number of suicide in this age category.
I don't think the desire to live vanishes, but some of us are simply not willing to live miserably for months or years.
At some point it is clear that there is no turning back, being stuck in bed for a few days or weeks can be acceptable, but not if there is zero hope of regaining autonomy.
Also, I am not found of the business side of this, I think this is extorsion, preying on the weak.
