Performing quantum suicide would—very briefly—allow you to learn whether you were still alive or about to die—which seems as though it might be some kind of result.
Searle’s “Chinese room” appears to me to be another dodgy non-experiment, that is still described as being a thought experiment—since Searle apparently doesn’t dispute that the room can actually speak Chinese.
