You (probably) already come preloaded with a survival instinct provided by evolution, however. It's not inherent to intelligence.

It's no coincidence that evolution seems to have gifted practically every living thing with a will to live. Though the tint of my own perspective makes it impossible to say for sure, I imagine any agent that we could observe expressing any desires at all would also seek to preserve its existence.
