* Scientists in [[Real Life]] have been attempting this type for a very, long, time. Many believe that humans will eventually attain it. There are a substantial number of people who believe that the first bicentenarian-to-be has already been born, and is possibly already an adult.
* [[Real Life]] example: ''[[wikipedia:Turritopsis nutricula|Turritopsis nutricula]]'' is a species of jellyfish that can revert back to its polyp stage once it becomes sexually mature - it can continually reverse its life cycle, making it technically immortal. In a way it's similar to [[Merlin Sickness]].
* Another [[Real Life]] example: some American Aspen (''Populus tremuloides'') tree stands (groves) are type II immortal. Aspen forms stands of genetically identical trunks with interconnected roots; some trunks die of old age but the stand itself is type II immortal.
