You say goodbye, and you say hello

There's a political reason for it, but:

In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission. According to a statement issued by the State Administration for Religious Affairs, the law, which goes into effect next month and strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is "an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation."

I have so many questions. Can you bring your official approval documents with you when you're reincarnating? Is there a kind of spiritual courier service?

If you reincarnate as something crappy, can the government sort it out for you?

What do they do to you, if you reincarnate without the proper permission? (Dis-incarnate you, I guess, in the usual ways).

Will they make another attempt at population control, using a one-reincarnation-per-couple rule?

I guess it makes sense, if somebody's a real dickhead, telling them not to come back again. There's no reason to think they'll be any better the second time around...
