Chapter 10 A Heart That Remembers...

Before coming to the hospital, Sun Liang did some preparations.

He carefully searched for relevant information about the impact of heart transplantation on Rao, and gained a new understanding of the changes in Nisa after the heart transplant.

Perhaps, the heart that Nisa had exchanged led to Nisa's change, he thought.

So, he asked An to first investigate the detailed information of the heart donor...

Some experts and scholars have pointed out that personality isn't stored in the brain, but in the heart. The heart is the reservoir of human temperament... This might explain Nisa's dramatic change in temperament.

Medical data shows that at least one in ten heart transplant patients undergoes a mutation after surgery, "inheriting the personality of the organ donor."

For example, media reported that a woman from the United States actually sued the doctor who performed a heart transplant on her.

It turned out that after undergoing a heart transplant, this woman, who had always been cheerful and energetic, had become depressed and unhappy. Furthermore, she often felt the urge to climb onto her balcony and jump off. She had lost all hope and desire in life.

Later she found out that the person who gave her the heart was a man suffering from depression, and that was how he ended his young life... So she sued the doctor!

There is another sick example, which is also very funny.

A young woman from Country E was once a teetotal vegetarian. But after receiving a heart transplant, she suddenly broke free, her only cravings now being hamburgers, sausages, and beer. Furthermore, her previously quiet personality had given her a new love for singing and dancing, and she somehow managed to sing songs she had never learned before...

Later, she finally learned that the man who donated her heart loved eating these things when he was alive. He was a famous singer who died in a motorcycle accident at the age of 18.

Because of the heart transplant, the cheerful and enthusiastic girl became extremely depressed, the vegetarian girl broke her vegetarian diet, liked meat, and fell in love with singing... The above facts show that the personality of patients who received a heart transplant inexplicably changed!

Paul Pearsall, a physiologist at Sinai Hospital in Detroit, USA, has been studying the phenomenon of temperament changes in patients due to the implantation of other organs for many years. He finally concluded:

"The heart stores the information that controls our brain. So, once a heart is implanted in another person's body, it begins to command its new master, changing his personality and habits."

Pearsall discusses this issue in his book The Heart Code. He gives several examples:

A 41-year-old man seemed like a completely different person after receiving a heart transplant from a 19-year-old woman who had been run over by a train. He was originally a slow-tempered and melancholic man, but after receiving the heart transplant, he seemed to be infused with passion and developed a strong interest in life.

A 36-year-old female patient, after receiving a heart transplant from a 20-year-old woman, has been dreaming of happy dates with her beloved boyfriend. She feels a sense of happiness from morning to night, and has never laughed so heartily in her life. It turns out that the heart donor was accidentally run over by a car while running across the street to show her fiancée a wedding dress.

A 35-year-old woman, once shy and reserved, suddenly became incredibly charming after receiving a female heart transplant. She spent nearly every night with her husband, something she had never experienced before. It turned out the woman who had given her the heart transplant was a university student.
