Because the alternative is death. Want to become non-unique? Let your body decompose back into the surrounding environment.

Death is a certainty, not an alternative.

		There are three kinds of death. There is living to a ripe old age, passing away quietly in a nursing home surrounded by loved ones. There is randomly being hit by a drunk driver, which is pure tragedy. And there is dying in a skydiving accident. The person who dies in a skydiving accident at 35 can have lived more than the person who passes away quietly at 95 but never took any risks. You either peak and start to decline at some time in your life, or you continuously go up, never peaking before your death.
