there is no soul, there is only the brain conditioned by the physiology and biochemistry of the body.

Find a way to replicate your brain in sufficient detail as of some moment when it was viable and you  reincarnated that self of you which had existed as of that momemt.    Nothing seem to preclude theoretically putting such a replicated brain in a different but physiologically compatible body, and doing so would have  you reincarnate as outwardly a different person.

Because escape loses its point if the misery from which one seeks escape via reincarnation pales next to the misery that awaits the escapee?

^Do you understand the term ‘rhetorical question’?

Reincarnation only works if you are under 12. Everyone knows it is deathly afraid of 13. (And black cats.)

I don’t believe in reincarnation now, and I didn’t believe in it when I was a Peruvian alpaca wrangler in the 1700s.
