i think many of the responses are too general... who wouldn't die for a worthy cause? it's worthy cause you'd die for it. circular. you'd die for your loved ones, but would you die for your great grandma who has a couple years left anyway?
the only people i know for sure is that i'd die for my immediate family and close friends. other cases are a bit more complex and don't fall under a blanket statement.
the only cause i would die for is my faith in Christ. if i were to choose between renouncing my faith and death, i would choose death.
like some posters mentioned before, there is a difference between a risk and certain death. i'm almost certain i would take grave risks for just about anyone if their lives were on the line.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
