But if, on the off-chance, you were serious:

So, should murder be legalised? The only reason I can think for it to be illegal, under your reasoning, is that other people might be affected by it – seeing that the victim is in no position to care. So, we can kill whoever we like, as long as we make sure to kill everyone who might be affected by that killing as well?

Great, I'd been really looking forward to slaughtering some of those homeless people that no-one cares about, and now I can!

The central argument for murder, or any taking of human life, being a crime is that it contravenes the right to life. If I kill you, or anyone, it doesn't matter that they don't care once they are dead, it matters on a moral level that I have denied them their natural life-span.

"Thus, in our reality, the only possible outcome is success."

…huh? That's not how these things work. Even if you subscribe to a "multiverse" hypothesis which suggests that everything happens somewhere, why should our somewhere be the one where the experiment is safe, even if, on the balance of probabilities it probably will be safe?

So you will never die in this universe? It seems that we are in some sort of "perfect" universe where nothing can or will ever go wrong – lucky, eh?

We can't lose anything. Something that doesn't exist can't lose something. If the planet disappeared, what would you do? Something that doesn't exist can't be distressed at their ceasing to exist, and so on.
