A heart transplant operation is no longer considered unique. By Thousands of people live with a strange “motor” in their chests all over the world. British biochemist Dr. Danny Penman first publicly voiced the assumption that it is possible with a stranger’s heart a person is transplanted and soul.
Strange postoperative consequences
Many surgeons, after performing this complex operation, follow up for a long time. for their patients. Doctors say that many who have received someone else’s heart, tastes, addictions, habits and character. Humble girls suddenly begin to wear bright dresses. Calm and restrained young guys suddenly become badass. Absolutely non-political young people join political parties, nominated as leaders of social movements. Male previously absolutely indifferent to the intoxicated, joins the “Club of fans beer. ”
Yes, of course, surgery is a great stress, after which man is unlikely to remain the same. However, upon clarification it turns out that with all these newly acquired addictions recipients owe their donors.
Who are you, donor?
25-year-old man, having received a new heart, burned with love for painting. If previously his interest in art was limited looking at comics, then after the operation the man became a regular at art museums and galleries. For hours he stands canvases as mesmerized. The donor for him was young woman, a fan of high art.
Having a new heart, the foundry worker began to learn to play on the violin. Until the age of 47, he considered the most important instrument in the orchestra drum – “He plays the loudest than anyone!”, and suddenly … His heart transplanted from a 17-year-old violinist.
The young man, having received the heart of a drowned man, is now panicky afraid of water. A girl who was previously afraid to look down from the window third floor (dizzy), getting the climber’s heart, becomes a desperate and fearless rock climber.
The heart is not just a piece of living flesh
As early as XIX, the American psychologist W. James put forward the idea that brain and heart work in close interaction. The brain fixes: danger – and the heart begins to pound frantically. A american scientist Childers was just sure that in this tandem the first the violin is played by the heart. It is here that all emotions are formed: feeling danger, love and pity, under the influence of which a person accepts important decisions, performs certain actions.
Modern scientists put forward the version that our internal organs possess the so-called “cell memory.” And the heart is so simple overwhelmed with “memories.” Once in a strange body, the heart begins to transmit their organs at all, including to the brain.
However, what is a revelation for scientists, for ordinary people – eternal truth. No wonder man always “listened to his heart, “and it was the heart, not the brain, that he considered to be his repository personality, your soul. Before surgery, patients always seek find out whose heart they have to accept and refuse if the donor will be a felon or a suicide. Prejudice? how to tell.
