If I end up being reincarnated or floating about in some other worldly plane of quantum mechanical reality I don't think it really affects my life or anything I do anyway. It's not something to base your life on.

I agree. The way I see it, the real truth about death is unknown because nobody on either side of the argument about it has come back from being dead past the point of no return.

Many people have a need for some kind of reassurance, though. This is why they turn to physicists who see quantum physics as a way to answer questions about survival after death etc. The physicists concerned believe this kind of thing themselves - scientists are as human as the rest of us so they don't all share the same world view.
