Do you really need Many Worlds for quantum suicide/immortality? How's a Single Big World (e.g. Tegmark's Level 1 universe) different? Since a Single Big World is infinite, there will be an infinite number of people performing quantum suicide experiments, and some of them will seem to be immortal.
It seems to me that there is no practical difference between living in Many Worlds vs a Single Big World.
Well, Many Worlds doesn't actually require infinity, which is a plus in my book. You can have a Many Worlds scenario with "only" (the number of discrete possible actions since the beginning of time) worlds, whereas a Single Big World that wasn't actually infinite would require further explanation.
