In that case, it seems like Quantum Immortality doesn't work.

And here I thought I was safe. Dammit.

Well, the nice form you described here doesn't work. The kind of lousy usual form does, with the usual caveats.

I agree provided the many-worlds interpretation is correct, which seems likely.

If the consciousness-causes-collapse interpretation is correct (which seems less likely), then the special form I described might still work. But I can't count on it.
