Let's put it this way. If your girlfriend in this life was your mother in a past life, and you are in mid-coitus, sex is ruined.
Seriously though, even IF there is reincarnation, when do you gain a new body? Immediately after death? Even so, where do the memories go? Are they locked in the brain? Even if they are, you would be either be a lunatic with hallucinations of a past life, or a psychic if your memories have enough detail on them to pin-point a specific event. This will be more difficult because nobody may have an account for your experieces. Not all events are taken into account. Hell, even today, we don't know what happened to Marilyn Monroe, all the conspiracy theories on 9/11 and the Moon landing, and some don't even believe the Earth is round! Unless there are multiple witnesses of an event, most that go beyond the norm will be discredited immediately anyways.

The brain rots within a couple weeks.
When i say reincarnation, i mean the SOUL of one being transferring to another being, not the BRAIN. That would rule out memories of a past life. Besides, brains are constructed for each new being, by cells in the mother's womb. Brand new.
So if only the "soul" makes a transfer, and carries with it none of the memories or experiences or tendencies of the previous body, how is that -not- "A new soul" or better, how is it in any way indistinguishable from a new soul?
