I think that there are people who would tell you that organic chemistry is the reason for life.
-but, if that answer doesn't satisfy, because we're looking for some other thing when we ask, something other than "chemistry", then I think I could come up with a way to understand the phrase and also conclude that there's no reason for life. I guess it would depend on the fact, and the person?
I do think that a more direct route would be to ask if there's reason to want. I think that's what we're wondering about when we consider whatever immediately charitable cases we might entertain for a person wanting to die and being rational about it in some or any sense. We see their reasons for want - in a simple reductive case, we might see that what they want, is a reduction of pain or misery - and we can grant that it might be rational to pursue a reduction of pain and misery.
