Sorry, what is the argument against quantum immortality?
I mean, beyond "it's unfalsifiable."
More to the point, it is a confusion. The thing that is called 'quantum immortality' is not immortality. Acting as if it is immortality (for example, by playing quantum roulettes) is typically an error in translating actual preferences from classical intuitions to account for a physics with quantum mechanics.
Anyone who says "I'm only going to die in (1 - (1/3^^^3)) of the measure therefore I'm immortal" is, to put it mildly, not being practical.
Oh, I see. I had thought of that, but I thought there was a physical argument being implied.
