From reading the lead section, all I know is that this is about a thought experiment and that it involves quantum mechanics.
Some more specific concerns:
I'd suggest re-writing the intro as:
Quantum suicide is a thought experiment in quantum mechanics and the philosophy of physics which involves a similar apparatus to Schrödinger's cat–a box which kills the occupant in a given time frame with probability one-half due to quantum uncertainty. In this variation the experimenter recording observations is the also the subject inside the box which could theoretically allow for differences between the interpretations of quantum mechanics to be observed.
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Quantum suicide and immortality/Archive 1 and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 December 30 § Quantum suicide and immortality/Archive 1 until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
