* Elves in [[J. R. R. Tolkien|JRR Tolkien]]'s ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' stories.
* The people of ''[[The Culture]]'' can become genetically immortal if they so choose to, it is just not commonly done since becoming immortal is considered gauche. They can also be resurrected at will via brain uploading.
* In ''[[Altered Carbon]]'' everyone is implanted with a cortical stack at birth that records their brain activity so they can be "re-sleeved" in a new body when they die. Though most people only choose to be re-sleeved a couple times, except for some rich eccentrics.
