There are many problems with the salvation-by works doctrine of reincarnation. First, there are many practical problems. For example:
1. We must ask, why does one get punished for something he or she cannot remember having done in a previous life?
2. If the purpose of karma is to rid humanity of its selfish desires, then why hasn't there been a noticeable improvement in human nature after all the millennia of reincarnations?
3. If reincarnation and the law of karma are so beneficial on a practical level, then how do advocates of this doctrine explain the immense and ever-worsening social and economic problems - including widespread poverty, starvation, disease, and horrible suffering - in India, where reincarnation has been systematically taught through out its history?
There are also many biblical problems with believing in reincarnation. For example, in 2 Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul states, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." At death, the, the Christian immediately goes into the presence of the Lord, not into another body. In keeping with this. Luke 16:19-31 tells us that unbelievers at death go to a place of suffering, not into another body.
Further, Hebrews 9:27 assures us that "man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." Each human being LIVES ONCE as a mortal on earth, DIES ONCE, and then FACES JUDGMENT. He does not have a second chance by reincarnating into another body.

First, I am not a believer in reincarnation.
In the Eastern Ways (Buddhism, Hinduism), reincarnation is intended to be the method by which imperfect humans achieve earthly perfection, or attempt to do so, at which juncture, if they have been successful (having achieved Nirvana), they are no longer required to reincarnate. That is a very simplistic explanation, and the actual accomplishment is very difficult and consists of years of meditation, study, and rigid discipline.
Some Westerners accept the concept of reincarnation, and Edgar Cayce ("the Sleeping Prophet"), who went into trances and gave "readings", revealed in one such episode that some people would not be commanded to reincarnate; assumedly, they would have learned the lessons necessary to enable them to forego rebirth in human form.

Being reborn is a matter of choice. One can either stagnate where he is between lives, or progress through reincarnation.

At are most basic level we are all just vibrations of energy. It really depends in which reliigon which teaching reincarnation you are referring to. In Buddhism it is viewed that life is suffering. You may not be suffering now, but as your grow older, become sicker, you will suffer. And most people suffer regularily anyway as they let their desire control them. When you don't get what you want you suffer, the struggle to get these things causes suffering, in short ones attachment to the material world causes human suffering.
Buddhists view that these mental processes produce negative energy, and being selfless, and not being at the will of your emotions brings good karma, or good energy. Not far fetched, as mental processes do produce energy. At the end of ones life the energy of ones consciousness that one has produced is reborn until they reach enlightenment, or nirvana, and end the cycle of rebirths.
Most people are reborn as humans, though some as animals, this would take me awhile to explain.

Of course, depending on their karma and state of mind at the body's death. Remember, if you're asking about the Buddhist concept of "rebirth" we believe linear time is rather illogical and when one way of being reborn no longer holds a mind, like a planet dying out, we start taking rebirths elsewhere.

Yep.
I bet now your wondering how it works to.
I have tried to explain this to many, some like the idea some don't.
Death does not exist.
OMG<<>>
Not really, I am just going with what my logic tells me. Death exists for those of us alive, for instance, I will go to my mothers funeral but she won't be there.
She'll be dead. And in being dead she will no longer have perception of time. Or what we call today consciousness. She will not exist. For existence means "To be." And you can not be unless you have consciousness.
Do you remember how much time passed before you were born?
No, but it was 15 billion years, or so these say. You came from your parents, etc, they came from chemicals in the dirt, they came from the sun's particles and the suns particles came from clouds of gasses.
Ain't the process of change just so much f'ing fun. Where caught in it man. CAUGHT IN IT! I'll find a link for ya.

Oh, never happen boysan. Someone will slap a bunch of rules, limitations, laws, and regulations on it so you can't be reborn. (or whatever)

If you look at most claims, only famous or romantically murdered people are reincarnated. No bus drivers or cess pool service people.
