so much research has been done in this field but still this question is asked again and again. one reason may be some religions, which categorically denies rebirth. however various studies have proved the existence of a system of rebirths by investigating the cases where memories of previous births have been claimed.I am personally aware of two such cases.both these persons are now in their 40's ,very well educated and serving at senior levels.both these cases have been investigated and reported in the media.Hindus believe in it,so do Buddhist.For sceptics i suggest reading works of Dr.Weiss,a psychotherapist by profession.He has popularised "past life regression therapy"whereby you are hypnotised and taken to your previous lives .So no need to ask,go to a therapist and find the answer your self.To find a therapist use google. Now as for myself I have studied so much about it that it leaves no scope for not believing.

It all depends on your concept of God... Only with that we can clearly understand these things.. If you believe there is no God, well.. I don't think you can come to any conclusion in this matter... But if you believe in Nirvana and rebirths as a cycle you probably believe that God is some impersonal being and nirvana is nothing but a state of nothingness(Any sensible person will never want that)... But If you believe that God is a loving personal being, then you have to believe that there is only one life, one death and then the judgement to face the righteous judge of the universe... And then Heaven (A place of eternal joy and union with God) or Hell(A place reserved for the ungodly).. Remember God is HOLY and absolutely just.. It's hard to believe many times but that's the way it is... And also remember people just a few years ago thought the earth was flat.... When someone said it was a big circle no one believed it... But thousands of years ago someone wrote this in the BIBLE
Isa 40:22
It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE OF THE EARTH, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
KJV
what do you say about that.... So the truth is out there... I would advice you to take a look at this Book which has these so many amazing facts and truth...

Belief in al-akhirah (life after death) is so crucial to the Islamic faith that any doubts about it amount to the denial of Allah (God). Allah’s own word in the Qur’an is the foundation of this faith. Besides, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) explained the centrality of this belief for a person who wishes to lead an Islamic life.
We know that we have no means of knowing life after death as a perceptual experience. But Allah has given us certain levels of consciousness that provide us with insight into realities not perceptible through the senses. The Qur’an speaks to our rational mind when it answers the disbelievers who ask, “Who will give life to the dead bones?” The answer is, of course, the One Who created them.
Allah in the Holy Qur’an appeals to man’s reasoning and addresses his power of reflection and judgment by asking him to reflect on how rain revives the dead earth. This is something that is obvious to us; if so, how can we then deny the truth of the resurrection, when Almighty Allah can just as easily revive the dead bones as He revives the earth?
(It is Allah Who sends forth the Winds, so that they raise up the clouds, and We drive them to a land that is dead, and revive the earth therewith after its death: even so [will be] the Resurrection!) (35: 9).
The Qur’an repeatedly tells us that those who believe and do righteous deeds will be greatly rewarded in the afterlife, while those who disbelieve and do bad deeds will be severely punished.
Belief in life after death gives meaning to our life, for it tells us that this life is only a test and preparation for an eternal life. Furthermore, we know that in the afterlife we will receive justice for all the wrongs we suffer here. It may seem that the sinful and corrupt are often happier or wealthier than the righteous, but that is only for a short time. In the afterlife they will get their due.
Belief in life after death encourages a person to lead a good life on earth, since he knows the fate that awaits him if he ignores the commands and warnings of Allah given in the Qur’an. In fact, belief in the afterlife is the strongest incentive for a person to lead a life of virtue here. The real road to a peaceful society can be paved only if people believe in an afterlife.

That's a funny question.
For men they spend 9 months waiting to get out of there and 90 years trying to get back in
