  However, this doesn't mean -reincarnation- happens 
unless one assumes, the essence of a living form is nothing 
more than its sum total of its quantum states with the final 
the final -sum total- quantum state of a billion celled individual 
being transferred and recreated in a single cell. 
  As you know, according to this defintion, such isn't likely. 
 
Take care, 
John
