I don't think that the MW immortality is correct at all! In a certain sense
we are
immortal, because the enseble of all possible worlds is a fixed static
entity. So,
you ''always'' find yourselve alive in one state or another. However, you
won't
experience youself evolving in the infinite far future.
If you encounter a ''branching'' in which one of the possibilities is
death, that
branch cannot be said to be nonexistent relative to you. Quantum mechanics
doesn't
imply that you can never become unconscious, otherwise you could never fall
asleep!
Of course, you can never experience being unconscious. So, what to do with
the branch
leading to (almost) certain death? The more information your brain
contains, the smaller the set of branches is in which you are alive (and
consistent with your experiences stored in your brain). The set of all
branches in which you could be alive doesn't contain any information at all.
Since death involves complete
memory loss, the branch leading to death should be replaced by the complete
set of all possibilities.
