A while back I had a discussion with some peers about whether the heart was a contributing factor to your make up and personality. A friend told me about a story where after a heart transplant, the person with the new heart experienced similar emotions and joys to the donor. This was from as little as a suddenly acquired taste to the memory of the donors old family relatives. Whilst "stumbling" I ran into this site that further develops this theory.
A remarkable story, with a sad ending :
A man who received a heart transplant 12 years ago and later married the donor's widow died the same way the donor did, authorities said: of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Grateful for his new heart, Graham began writing letters to the donor's family to thank them. In January 1997, Graham met his donor's widow, Cheryl Cottle, then 28, in Charleston.
"I felt like I had known her for years," he said.
