When I looked it up the Greek word 'martur', from which the word martyr is derived, I realised why some people are eager to die for their cause. All humans die, all people who have some faith are humans, so they also die. But for them how to die matters a lot. Martyr is the best way for them to convince their lives in the next world. If they can acquire it by not choosing some medical treatment that is absolutely required for their lives to save, it's the easiest way for them to obtain eternal life in such a simply way. It's not very hard for them to do. They can get it by just one negative choice, which is much easier to get it as opposed to obtain it through time consuming religious practices, and still not so sure whether to have been able to get it.
