Why would I be forced to murder myself in an alternate universe by existing in it simultaneously?
Since I cannot travel to a universe where my alternate self is dead, what happens after they die in their universe if I cannot exist in it without them?
Did you recently watch "The One"?

This prompt is based of it (its not exactly how the rules are in the show, but I modified it to increase the ethical dilemma)

If they die, they just die, you can still leave, but you won't be able to go back there again, neither can any versions of "you".
There can be unlimited number of "you" in a world, but that can cause issues with the world. I mean, think about it, the authorities are gonne be like "WTF" since you never had a twin on record. And problems go even further if there are like 3, 4, or 5 versions of you existing in the same world. The world doesn't care, but like, the authorities are gonna put you in a blacksite and run experiments on you. I mean, unless you can find a world where the other "you" doesn't care that you have the face as them, and just poped out of thin air and there is no birth record of you.
I mean, if another version of me just appeared, I'm gonna feel threatened and probably kill him for self defence (so he doesn't get ideas to try to take my place).
Edit: Unrelated, but the 2015 Dark Matter is also great, whole different premise, and its also interesting to watch.

This. I don't understand why murdering your alt-self is "necessary". Wouldn't you actually want to preserve your alternate-self at all costs, to ensure you can continue to make return trips?
The real issue here is that - if your home reality works by the same rules - once you leave it, you can never return home ever, because no alternate version of yourself exists in the one you originated from after you leave it.
Before you say "hey, that sounds awesome, this place sucks!", consider that finding a better reality is not guaranteed.
