Few people consider things "infinitely preferable" to other things. People may very well and very reasonably believe than keeping their money and increasing the quality of their life (or giving it to charity) on the here-and-now is better from a utilitarian perspective than a mere 0.18% chance at biological immortality.

Even immortality isn't "infinitely preferable" to other things.
