...completely losing your memory and starting a new life and being reborn into a new life(karma)?
The first one is something that actually happens.
If you complete lost your memory and starting a new life, you'll have the mind of an infant in your current body. However, you won't know how old you exactly are because you lost your memory whatsoever.
As for the other, you're just being reborn in a new life, and you should have no memory whatsoever about any past life.
I thought people faked amnesia so they could escape credit card bills, wides & kids, and the like?
The former doesn't allow you to become "The Butterfly".
I hope I come back as a cow. Moooo!

This wasn't really meant to have people state exact differences...but in a more general sense.
My view is that you're pretty much born again when you lose your memory and have to start over. It's pretty much the same thing as karma.
Yeah, but when you lose your memories you still have a connection to your 'past life'. Your family members still know you, and there's always a chance your memories will come back. You know basic functions and you dont crap yourself and such.
Karma is the universe's way of balancing things, like if you do bad things bad things come back to you. Reincarnation is what you're looking for.
Should someone with total retrograde amnesia be charged for crimes he has no recollection of committing? That question has always bothered me.
