I still don’t believe in the example that you gave of an 8yr old girl’s heart transplant. But if it is true: I’m stunned.

Alice i just don’t agree with the memory being stored in other parts of the body...this is just stupid whining over a regulated program. Organ transplants are to save life and that’s it.

people make these kinda stories up...or its like when you come outta operation theater and its told to you that someone’s lungs saved your life...you would obviously like to know who that departed soul was and you start making stories or somehow start to get connected to that guy who now lives right inside you.

then how about saying hey doc i don’t like orange juice anymore...has it to do something with the guy who donated me his lungs. Did he liked the orange juice? Ok incase he didn’t...you have more than a chance to say that i am a changed guy now...i am not who i used to be...you know that’s what i think about this story...i really got into it...that’s nice, even i started making stories;)

Yeah Scott and Shimla, I totally agree. If the girl with the heart’s story is true, I don’t think anyone can explain it. I’m sure a lot of these stories are made up, and as I said, the mind is very suggestable...

The example of the 8 year old reminds of the hollywood movie ’The eye’ in which a girl who had eye transplantation had horrible experiences.

Cellular memory is quite a debatable issue today and though cases of personality changes are being reported in paitents undetgoing organ transplantation lets hope that it does not turn out to be true....otherwise people will start acting really wierd.

Transplantation is such an emotive issue no wonder people try and mystify it even more. I remain sceptical as usual about such paranormal phenomena. During and after transplantation-especially when cardio-pulmonary bypass has been used-a certain effect on brain function must be expected. This along with the neuro side effects of drugs is responsible. Most patients hopefully feel healthier after transplantation and this is incorrectly noted as personality change
