Indeed, the EM field might host the will to live - or it might be a vacuum field.
Physics accepts that there are probably massless particles which are currently beyond our ability to detect. But here we suggest that a vacuum field might be detectable because of either direct or indirect effects on biological life.
The reason we know neutrinos exist is because of such indirect measurements.
I find it amusing that we're discussing housing an entirely nebulous entity (the so called will to live) in an entirely hypothetical vacuum field. But I have no problem with it, any more than I mind you insisting that Helena is the capital of Ruritania.
Just don't call what you're doing science. And my advice would be to leave the EM field out of it, unless you are willing to discuss why the large EM fields that we enounter every day don't induce suicidal impulses
