Help me out again wih this expression

Situation 1
( Someone asks me to do something that might cause me to die)

A : Spread the agricultural chemicals by tomorrow.
B : No, I will not. I am too young to die!

B thinks agricultural chemicals will kill him because of the toxin, so he says it, meaning that he does not want to die.

Situation 2
( Someone asks me to do something that could kill normal people)

A : This mission might kill you. Is it okay?
B : Don't worry! I am too young to die.

B thinks that hs is young enough to endure something harsh or something that might cause general people to die)

Situation 3
( He is feeling awful pain because of some dieases, but he can't kill himself because of his religious belief)

A: I am too young to die!

Although this pain is killing him, it does not kill him, so the only way to get out of the pain is death, but he has to live with the pain until he dies naturally because of his religous belief.

I have learned that the #1 situation is natural to use the expression but I was wondering if the situation #2 and #3 are also appropriate to use the expression, implying death is not my thing because I am still young.

I know this is really weird but because of my language sysyem, I feel like I could use the expression in all of the situations, so I would like to hear how you feel about it and how you use it. I hope to make my question clear and hear from you again.

Thank you so much as always and have a good day.
