    "abstract": "The experimental setup of the self-referential quantum measurement, jovially\nknown as the \"quantum suicide\" or the \"quantum Russian roulette\" is analyzed\nfrom the point of view of the Principal Principle of David Lewis. It is shown\nthat the apparent violation of this principle--relating objective probabilities\nand subjective chance--in this type of thought experiment is just an illusion\ndue to the usage of some terms and concepts ill-defined in the quantum context.\nWe conclude that even in the case that Everett\u0027s (or some other \"no-collapse\")\ntheory is a correct description of reality, we can coherently believe in\nequating subjective credence with objective chance in quantum-mechanical\nexperiments. This is in agreement with results of the research on personal\nidentity in the quantum context by Parfit and Tappenden.",
