Depending on your worldview, reincarnation is either true beyond doubt, plausible or apriori impossible nonsense.
Those of a materialist disposition, who take the view that consciousness is an emergent property of matter, completely rule out the possibility.
The followers of the Abrahamic religions, with the exception of Orthodox Jews and a few other sects, believe in one life spent on earth followed by an afterlife; any sort of belief in reincarnation is deemed heretical by this cohort.
The University Of Virginia's division of perceptual studies has investigated more than 2,500 purported cases of reincarnation.
In this lecture, Professor Ian Stevenson, the founder of this division, reviews his own research in the field.
