Evolution in its conventional meaning of changes in a population caused by differential breeding success of individuals coupled with descent-with-modification arguably requires mortality, but I'm not sure I know anyone who values evolution in that sense as compared to some other mechanism that makes equally valuable changes in the population (e.g. via technology).
Some people do seem to have goals that involve killing other people; presumably eliminating mortality prevents them from achieving those goals.
