I would think that most people would find the idea of living forever in some of the worlds at least somewhat comforting. It is even better than having an immortal soul: you get to live forever in the flesh, and you do not need to pay a tithe in any of the worlds.
That said, I was referring to something else, namely to the major discomfort of the essential unpredictability of any quantum experiment. In the MWI (or at least in some versions of it) the parallel worlds come into existence and sail apart as the decoherence takes hold and the off-diagonal contribution to the joint system/​detector state decays away rapidly.
Everything seems predictable and some day maybe even computable. The only minor caveat is that you never get to observe these other worlds and bless your surviving copies with your dying breath (or receive the blessing of those gone before you).
