I haven't beat the game and it just came to my mind (so what I suggested may have holes). Quiet is somewhat similar to the MGS4 Naomi, kept alive from a mortal issue (in Quiet's case, the burn injuries including her lungs, in Naomi's, cancer) by either the parasite or the nanomachines. If Naomi dies when her nanos are shutted down, likewise would Quiet if she gets rid of the parasites. But what is problematic for Quiet (at least in my understanding) is that the parasite, if activated, will also kill her. Whereas in Naomi's case, she intensionally shut down the nanos as she doesn't want to be like Vamp (although I think she should have done that when she is assured that the AIs are down).
