Why is murder wrong if Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is true?

I think the scientific consensus is that they don't. And the arguments for that are fairly easy to understand:

Also, fish do not have the neuroanatomy necessary to feel pain: they have little or no type-C neurofibres, which are necessary to feel pain (we know that because people with congenital insensitivity to pain have fewer type-C neurofibres), not to mention the brain structures.
If fish can suffer (be it only physical pain), then the right thing to do would be to stop eating them.
