Do you believe the tissues in our body have memories stored in them and that those memories are passed on to others in the form of organ donations (i.e. heart, kidney, lungs, etc). When the person receives the organ donation, would those memories make that person anjoy and do things he or she had no previous knowledge of?

Assuming this is correct then wouldn't it be the cause of cells reproducing through mitosis and spreading through the body slowly yet surely (well, speed depending on what kind of donation it is)? Eventually you would have the donor's cells have a strong influence on other cells and your CNS and it's DNA would spark certain things, that is, if cravings and actions are somehow connected to DNA.

I believe in that the body has a great memory for pain. Pain can persist for years in someone well after the insult has been taken care of. but I do not believe that in a transplant the donors memories would be transferred to the recipient.

There is no hard scientific proof for "tissue memory." How can another organ perform the complicated functions of the brain?

Nope. Memories are a function of the brain, and you can't transplant that.

I could believe it. I have heard instances of people craving foods they never wanted before, etc. Who knows....
