I agree completely.
With the hypothesis that we are emulable by digital machine (COMP)
it is possible to say more, though. Indeed,
you can attach 'this thought' to (an equivalence class) of relative
computationnal states (see http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~marchal).
Survival to Quantum Suicide is then a particular case of survival
COMP suicide (and as I explain before physics became a branch of
psychology/computer science).
