Yes but the criterion you gave was "willingness to undergo certain death" and effectively going to hell with the practical impossibility of coming out qualifies.

For the matter of that, if we take it to extremes, anyone who is not working on an immortality elixir is a fanatic as clearly we are all certain to die.
