There is something fundamentally insane about using a photo-editing tool to add makeup to a dying, catastrophically deformed, baby-sized thirteen-year-old who lacks human consciousness and has tubes up her nose.
I wonder if Gwen's going on about Lola's "will to live" is due to her subconscious guilt for having Lola and for allowing her to live in her nightmare body for so long. I think she convinces herself Lola wants to live as a psychological defense mechanism. If Lola has any sort of sentience, her life has got to be horrific - like something out of a body horror story. She cannot move, see, or hear, she struggles to breathe, she cannot eat normally, and she would be in severe pain if she could feel pain. There's no way that her back wouldn't hurt like hell, and apparently she has dislocated joints due to severe muscle contractions. That would be absolute agony. The only saving grace here is that Lola may not be able to feel anything, including pain.
