good that you address this topic, I have also wondered a lot about how superposition/MWI/decoherence transfer to the macroscopic arena. Although I am not so quick to discard "splitting" of macroscopic objects. For instance, you don't have to perform a QM-experiment with explicit setup, looking around is enough - photons hit your eyes with different polarizations; why should no splitting occur here? Why only in the case where you perform an up/down-amplification experiment? And the experiments of Zeilinger Et al (Superposition of Fullerenes) do suggest that there is no scale at which superpositions stop. We are only not aware of the other persons/objects due to decoherence. Can you recommend a paper which addresses this question (of macroscopic object splitting)?
