   The incorrect word in my context is "fight"   
   To "fight" against another is one thing.   
   To not let a life that God gave you die is another.   
      
   When you are ill, you take medication or food.   
      
   You are basically promoting suicide.   
      
   We are to survive and SERVE as long as possible.  It's about God, not us.   
      
   The fact that God gave us an inherent desire to survive is not an evil gift   
   or a gift of evil.
