the evolutionist may be convinced that this is your only life and so tries to preserve it as long as possible.

Now, now. Not everyone who accepts evolution does not believe in a 'spiritual' afterlife. In fact, from what I've seen, most don't. Of course, if you spend time listening to the lies of creationists (like gore3000) you might get the impression that every single person who believes that evoltuion is a sound scientific explanation is a hardcore militant anti-God atheist.

Of course I know that, 'Junior' would be a good counterexample.
Also, not every "evo believer" will view someone "as a failing machine that is about ready for the scrap heap". So my generalization was aimed at this "argument".
