You continue to convince me that you don't understand QI at all.

To me it seems like you do not understand Quantum Immortality. While a person is being euthanised, countless new worlds are being created. In the vast majority of those new worlds, that person is dead because euthanasia succeeded. In some of those new worlds, however, euthanasia has not succeeded. The euthanised person will wake up in one of those worlds... probably with a severely damaged brain.

I defer to you on the topic of severely damaged brains.
