Why limit yourself to the downside potential only? I'd like to believe that humans aren't the only intelligent life forms today, let alone in the probable infinite history of the universe, I mean do you really think semi-intelligent monkeys that eat/shit/sleep/sex with sewage pipes are the best this universe is capable of?
It may just be the case that being born a western chud are is as unlikely as being hit by a lightning 20 times in a row.
Also there is relativity, quantum mechanics and things like many worlds theory to worry about before reincarnation even begins to make sense.

And think, you could get reborn as a crow or an octopus, and it would be a definite trade up.
