Because human beings prefer life rather than death.
Why?
Because that's the way our brains are built?
Why?
Because we inherited the characteristic.
Why?
Because those who had a different opinion about the value of
life did not have any descendents.

Because we want to. Again we could make a sequence of "why"
questions but such sequences can never be infinitely long; eventually
you will come to "why is there something rather than nothing?" and
of course nobody can ever answer that, but I don't need to because
the fact remains that I do want to get up in the morning. I don't need
to know why.
