The Spirit of Transplanted Hearts
Joe Joseph of The Times (UK) wrote about Mindshock, a UK TV program shown last week about heart transplant patients acquiring part of their donors’ personalities. Apparently, 5 to 10 percent experience this supernatural phenomenon. One case study:
Another heart recipient became obsessed with classical music. This new passion collided with his peculiar earlier concern that — since his new heart was coming from a 17-year-old black youth — he might find himself incubating a taste for rap music. Only later did the man discover that the black youth was a classical violinist.
Combating racial stereotypes by heart transplant may seem extreme but every little bit makes a difference. :)
