Would be different... would resemble parents. Sometimes maybe resembles past life, like my taiwanese teacher's face resembles his past life looks. (about this see folder icon What are your doubts on Buddhism) This is because some of his karma still continues until now... that part of the karma is not yet exhausted, so the face still has similarities.Originally posted by hoganrock:...will your face be the same as your last life? or different?

'The Elucidation of Consciousness' provides very good answer to the subject of karma & consciousness.

Wise Protector, in the same way, after a sentient being dies, his consciousness will take birth again together with the elements of feeling, awareness, and dharmas. Accompanied by the elements of feeling, awareness, and dharmas, the consciousness is reincarnated through [the union of] its parents, who are the conditions of its rebirth.
