Would you agree to a heart transplant?

[c=#BF0080][b]
Research has shown recipients of a heart, for transplant. display a significant change in behavior and tastes afterwards.

After investigations and studies, researchers have found these behaviors and tastes are exactly like that of the donor. This is due to the heart having similar electons and neural activity similar to the brain.

Would you agree to a heart transplant if it changes who you are?[/b][/c]

Interesting question: First off, I wouldn't be seeking a heart transplant, because I don't cling to my life very tightly. BUT... If I were in that situation, I would review the research and want to know about the life of the donor first, to decide if I wanted their heart, or not.

@ms20182878 I beleive once a heart is taken from a donor there's only 4 hours that it will survive on ice. Doesnt leave much time for research.

@CC67219 Good point... There might not be enough time to find out much about the particular donor. It's a great question that you asked... It just won't apply in my life because I would never be a candidate for a heart transplant.

@CC67219 Not likely for me... my life expectancy isn't very long. I would never be a candidate for a heart transplant because of my motor neuron disease (ALS).
