I am changing my view to represent what I now believe:
1. Elvish rebirth never, or almost never, occurs.
2. Orcs are included in this by their being corrupted elves.
3. When orcs, and elves, die, they go to the halls of mandos to await the end of the world.
4. There are female orcs, just as there are female elves.
5. Orcs reproduce "in the manner of the children of illuvatar."
SUMMARY:
To sum it all up, basic orc characteristics are similar to those of elves, at least those concerned with their reproduction.
The first two deal with my views on rebirth.
