There are certainly science fiction and religious traditions where people are born twice. (A James Bond book/ movie has the fun title "You Only Live Twice") One recent thought experiment is the idea that we are in a ancestor simulator and will be born again in a heaven simulator. A popular genre of anime involves high school students dying by chance and being reborn in fantasy world's where they can have the fun of living out RPG type adventures. The problem is there isn't a shred of evidence for people being reborn. It seems like wishful thinking or just a fun fantasy.
