Genetically Remove the Reason for Living

What if? What if you could?

DO we continue living for a... reason?

OR is it the fear of death that keeps us going?

Excising the particular genetic code that codes for the ‘life reason’; at the least it could answer that paradox.

My only reference to this possibility: http://iai.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/79/1/59?etoc
