Can we really transplant a human soul?
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | 4-09-08 | Dr. Danny Penman

In his haunting lyrics, the boy sang about how he felt destined to die and donate his heart. After his death, his heart was transplanted into an 18-year-old girl - named Danielle.

When the boy's parents met Danielle, they played some of his music and she, despite never having heard the song before, knew the words and was able to complete the lyrics.

Professor Schwartz also investigated the case of a 29-year-old lesbian fast-food junkie who received the heart of a 19-year-old vegetarian woman described as "man crazy".

After the transplant, she told her friends that meat now made her sick, and that she no longer found women attractive. If fact, shortly after the transplant she married a man.....

...19-year-old vegetarian woman described as "man crazy".

She doesn't like meat, but she sure enjoys the bone? Is that how that saying goes?

I'm sorry, I graduate 10th grade in three minutes. What kind of reply did you expect?!

It transpired that the 17-year-old donor had loved classical music and played the violin. He had died in a drive-by shooting, clutching a violin to his chest.

Bizarre.

Uh huh. Sure.

Sixty-something Sonny started off the relationship by purchasing that widowed thirty-something hottie a house before they were married.

There certainly are a few more prosaic possible explanations for this case than “coincidental suicide.”

Don't start feeling to old. I was 37 in 1994. The early 1970s were the good old days. The late 1960s weren't so bad either.

I’m just glad someone older than me finally commented on this. I was really getting depressed.

****In fact, scientists haven’t even managed to define what exactly consciousness is, let alone managed to pin down where it comes from and where it is to be found within the body.

So maybe, just maybe, the poets, romantics and mystics throughout the ages were right: the heart really is the seat of our emotions and of our souls.****

Cell memory or DNA - seems entirely possible. I am adamantly opposed to organ transplants - God gives us what we need from birth to death............and he’s obviously sending us a message because, once again, we are trying to take over His majestic creations.

For what it’s worth, the ancient Egyptians (who spent several thousand years studying this issue) believed that the heart was the seat of consciousness.
