If you get as far as allowing that the other branches are conscious - no, simply that you even HAVE branches, and they should be related by probabilities that don't change retroactively - then you have been granted sufficient grounds to derive the Born Rule.

It's getting that far that's the hard part.

EDIT: I've provided this derivation already, here Does that help?
