Organ transplant associated personality change
This is a phenomenon reported in some cases following transplant surgery where the recipient of a transplanted organ claims to have experienced changes in their personality, feelings, urges, dreams and, in some cases, memories, which are then attributed to the organ donor. Because it has not yet received any thorough scientific investigation of its veracity and reliability, it is difficult to obtain much firm data concerning the incidence of this phenomenon, though several cases have attracted some media coverage. The claims therefore remain anecdotal, although 70 such cases are often reported in the media. The lack of any known viable scientific mechanism for the phenomenon also fuels scepticism about it from within the scientific community, which tends to dismiss Cellular memory or Body memory as merely a pseudoscientific fabrication.
