Quantum Immortality / Suicide
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_suicide

Basically, An experiment is built. It's a loaded gun pointed at the head of the user. It is triggered or not triggered depending on the decay of some radioactive atoms which creates a 50-50 chance of survival.

Now, on the assumption there is paralel universes;

If the subject dies, from his point of view, the experiment is over. However in an alternate universe, he lives and immediatly repeats the experiment.

There exists one alternate timeline where the user repeats the experiment and NEVER dies in any of the outcomes, thus making him immortal.


dies                        lives
                         dies    lives
                                lives dies
                             dies lives
                                      lives dies
                                  dies lives
                                           lives does
                                      dies lives
                                           lives dies
                                            lives...


Eventually the user experiences immortality out of sheer luck of that universe.
