For some organ recipients, particularly those who have undergone heart transplants, it can be more than just a sensation. Various reports and studies suggest that these individuals may experience changes in personality, cravings, and even memories from their donors. For example, Anne Marie Switzer from Brampton, Canada received a heart transplant at age 50 after dealing with heart issues her entire life. Following the transplant, she noticed a shift in her emotions towards her family; she no longer felt the same affection as before. &#8220;I know I love my family,&#8221; Switzer remarked, &#8220;but I don\u2019t get that squishy feeling.&#8221; She expressed missing the emotional connection she once had: \u201cI\u2019m a love person&#8230; I miss that.\u201d In another case from decades earlier, Claire Sylvia of Massachusetts received new heart and lungs and unexpectedly began craving beer and Kentucky Fried Chicken\u2014foods favored by her 18-year-old donor. Other recipients have reported more troubling experiences; for instance, one five-year-old developed an intense fear of drowning after receiving an organ transplant. Research has validated these phenomena under terms like \u201ccellular memory\u201d or \u201cheart memory,\u201d suggesting that heart transplant recipients may exhibit preferences or emotions similar to those of their donors due to potential memory storage within the transplanted organ. A study published in the National Library of Medicine noted mechanisms such as cellular memory and epigenetic modifications could explain this transfer of memories or traits between donor and recipient<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2395227,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Heart.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[49216,49217,43282,49215,7663],"class_list":["post-2395226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-cravings","tag-health-stories","tag-organ-donation","tag-patient-experience","tag-transplant"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Heart.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2395226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2395226"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2395226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2395230,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2395226\/revisions\/2395230"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2395227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2395226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2395226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2395226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
