I'd do it for purely selfish reasons.
If I failed, anyone who found me wouldn't be upset that I didn't try, they'd just be sad that I wasn't able to save them.
If I succeeded, I could potentially have more labor, company, entertainment, potential sexual pleasure (as eerily noted above), twice as many hands and feet to explore the island, build shelters and gather food.
It seems like a lose/lose to not care for them..
