I think the big 'issue' I personally have is the idea that our Karma/Conciousness/Mind is transferred to another being. This is just improbable according to todays science on the brain. I was actually confused onto exactly what Rebirth itself was. Because aside from Rebirth, there are still these ideas of say, Bodhisattvas, beings that are consistently reborn into the world to help teach us. On a philosophical level, this is believable. But saying that this person is the way he/she is, is because of a past Mind coming into the body, is unrealistic.
