Some years after what is considered the best reincarnation case provided by Ian Stevenson was [heavily criticized](https://cdn.centerforinquiry.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/1994/09/22165115/p35.pdf) by Leonard Angel in Skeptical Inquirer magazine, biologist Julio Barros offered a [response](http://www.criticandokardec.com.br/imad_elawar_revisited.html) to Angel, arguing that the case of Imad Elawar provides evidence for reincarnation. To my knowledge, no skeptic has ever addressed Barros’ arguments. Is his defense of this “Case of the Reincarnation Type” successful?
