    Universes where we are still dying due to old age and disease have limited long term appeal.

    Star Trek: TNG, has that one planet where the people don't die due to old age. So, the possibility is there. I forget the name of the movie.

      B5 had a couple of paths also.

      Also if you become a Sith lord you seem to last until someone kills you. Course that might just be part of being a Sith comes with an apprentice-murders-you based retirement plan.

      Although I really, really dislike Star Trek Generations, the Nexus could extend your life as long as it existed. Failing that you could always risk trying to regenerate yourself with a Genesis device.

    The world in Altered Carbon would suit you then. Your physical body can die, but you can re-load your consciousness to another, so you can live forever and swap your looks now and then. Of course you'd need enough credits - as far as I can tell, just watching the first season and not reading the books, it is still capitalist based.
