DO ORGAN TRANSPLANTS TRANSFER MEMORIES?
In this article for Nexus magazine, three doctors put forth ten organ-transplant cases which seem to support the "living systems theory" - that all living cells contain both memory and decider subsystems. One mother sees a boy who received her deceased son's heart run to her and hug her in the same manner as her son used to. A male heart recipient was worried that his new female heart would "make him gay," but in fact finds that he now makes love "like I know exactly how the woman's body feels and responds - almost as if it is my body. Another man finds that he has a sudden love for classical music; the donor was a violinist. Another can't eat meat anymore.

The authors include more questionable comments as well, and it's amazing what some of these people think despite having narrowly avoided death. For example, one white man, a recipient of a heart from a black donor, is mad because after making love to his wife, he feels like she just had sex with a black man.

An analysis and footnotes follow the examples.
