After the heart transplant, I actually have the hobby habits of the original owner of the heart...
Does the heart really have a memory? Why did she seem to have changed after receiving a heart transplant?
In 2002, a film "Stranger's Heart" was released, based on the memoirs of a dancer in 1997, which detailed the miraculous experience of American ballet dancer Claire Sylvia's heart transplant.
Claire Sylvia is a well-known ballet dancer in the United States, but unfortunately she was diagnosed with fatal pulmonary hypertension, and as the disease progressed, her heart was overwhelmed. Finally, in 1988, she waited for the right heart and underwent a heart and lung transplant at Yale Medical School.
Due to Claire's fame and the special nature of the operation, a reporter interviewed Claire after the operation:
"What do you most want to do right now?"
"I want a beer" Claire's blurted out answer amused the reporter, but Claire herself was taken aback, knowing that her previous self was not drunk.
Soon Claire discovered more strange things.
Since Claire is a dancer, she is particularly strict about her eating habits, and she rarely eats fast food KFC in the past, but since receiving a heart-lung transplant, she has found herself madly in love with fried chicken, chips, burgers and beer, and she has also found that her personality has become very impulsive.
What is even more puzzling is that when Claire was 5 months after the operation, she dreamed of a red-haired, thin and tall boy named Tim, and in her dream, she felt that the two people were extremely close and did not have the slightest strange feeling. Suddenly she began to wonder that maybe she was dreaming of someone who had donated her heart.
Claire wanted to know if her change had anything to do with the donor, and through various inquiries, Claire got a little information about the donor, she learned that the heart came from an 18-year-old boy who died in a car accident in Maine, and used this detail Claire found the boy's newspaper obituary.
After painstaking searching, she finally found Tim's family, which turned out to be a tall, thin red-haired boy.
His family told Claire that Claire was hot-tempered and impulsive, that the boy loved chicken nuggets and fries, and that he had just packed a McDonald's chicken and chips before the accident.
Claire later wrote her bizarre experience after an organ transplant into a memoir: "The Change of the Heart".
Theories about personality changes in some people after heart transplants have emerged one after another, and there is no convincing evidence so far. (Network map invasion and deletion)
