See also RespawnPoint.

In SergeyLukyanenko's ''Line of Delirium'', resurrection for humans is commonplace, and the moment anyone dies, that fact instantaneously spreads through the whole universe (OurSoulsAreDifferent) and they can be cloned again immediately in the respawn chamber. Made into a plot point many times:
** The prime motif for the main character to work for the CorruptCorporateExecutive is that if he doesn't, he will eventually die and then resurrect in his own private chamber to be [[FateWorseThanDeath tortured to death infinite amount of times]]
** At one point the party is trapped by Silicoids (it's a ''MasterOfOrion'' novelization) - their only way to escape is to kill themselves and respawn, except they can't do that, because the moment they try they'll be reduced to a BrainInAJar.
** At one point the party attempts to bypass some sector of space by coming close enough to be under jurisdiction of a respawn point on the other side and then killing themselves so that they will be transported there.
