No they don't. I repeat, people never, ever say "I need to live" they say "I
want to live" or "I love life". Life is never seen as a need, except in
specific circumstances, such as needing to live *long enough to complete my
work* or something of that nature. Life is generally considered VERY
precious, but that's not the same as calling it a need.

Again, you're talking about desire, not need. Suicidal people do not *want*
to live any longer.

Nope, people do not view living as a "need", they view it as highly
desirable.
