Do transplanted organs retain part of the memory of the donor?

Question

Their seems to be some possibilty that cellular memory may be a reality.There are is anecdotal evidence on the web and a few books have been written claiming that it does in fact exist.

I was a heart transplant recipient 2001 and have had no experience of having recieved personality traits from my donor.

Answer 1

thats interesting. my mom had a stem cell transplant last year. now not only does she have a new blood type, but her tastes have changed. for example, before the transplant chicken was her favorite meat. now even the smell makes her noxious. its strange.

Answer 2

Conscious memory is very unlikely but somatic memory may be a possibility. For example they might retain some type of memory of the trauma that caused them to be available for transplant but it is not likely to be a memory that would cause the recipient to know or remember the trauma. They may retain some type of awareness of for example of the food likes of the donor. The recipient might become aware of a craving or at least a liking of some food they did not particularly want or like before.

Answer 3

there has been memories of hint ideas or unusual knowledge even as someone has gained a serious organ transplant, yet who's conscious of. it truly is a authentic way for the deceased to stay to inform the tale and to really provide the present of existence.
