If only the memories were destroyed, you would doubtless develop as a different person...but how different? And what about the conscious sense of self that tells us "I am I," even when we are not accessing our memories? If that countinues unbroken, then I think the experience would be different from death, and different from reincarnation.

You'd may as well be a believer in reincarnation- ie: you may be reborn as someone else, but with no idea of your past life. Of course not.
