We lose people we care about all the time during life and most of the time we don’t want our lives to end because we lost our friends, family or even lovers. If anything, it gets easier to accept loss as you get older. There’s no reason to think that trend would reverse.
Are you trying to convey we grow indifferent to loss or just accept it more easily or just develop better ways to keep our feelings to ourselves?
Over an average life span of 75 years we may lose, let’s average, around 35 meaningful persons.
Now lets scale that figure twice, three, four times. Or even more, because who knows what other nefarious effects the sense of immortality would have on our psyche?
At some point it would grow enough on any sane person having to cope with losing one loved one after the other.
So why do you suppose we would be losing so many more people over some reasonable span of time if it’s only the unusual that is killing them?
Your opinion on this isn’t very coherent. I suspect it is more tied to an emotional reaction more than some objective reason. You may want to explore why.
I’d risk deaths by fortuitous reason would rise, pumped by the sense of near immortality provided by the magic fairy dust pills. People tend to take unnecessary risks when they feel invincible. Think of yearly twenty years old.

How are we losing these loved ones? Are you assuming you’re the only person getting these pills?
Acts of violence, fortuit events, acts of god, etc.
Death comes for us in many fashions.
