She had summat to do with it, that's how it's possible

Oh my gawds, that's so spooky! I bet he killed himself because his heart didn't want to live in the other mans body! It made him do it!

I've heard of this. Others who have received transplants have taken on personalities or quirks of the donor.

Metal Gear Solid, when liquid snake take over revolver ocelot's body by means of the hand transplant. ROFL.

My condolesences to the deceased.

Based on what's written, I find it very difficult to seriously believe this story as it's presented.

Let's review why:

1. With the exception of the brain, there is no "personality" to any organ. They merely function. The liver doesn't sit and chat with the spleen. Your pancreas won't have a fight with your lungs and for the next few days, render the silent treatment. Your organs are chunks of meat, most of which perform necessary life-preserving functions within your body. That's all.

2. The story says that Sonny Graham died via a single gunshot wound to the throat through the use of a shotgun. If you've ever handled a shotgun, you'd know that it would be exceedingly difficult (if not borderline impossible) to commit suicide in this manner. Earlier details claimed that Graham died exactly the same way Cheryl Cottle's first husband, Terry, had as well. What are the chances that one person -- let alone two -- married to the same woman would be able to kill themselves with a shotgun blast to the throat?

Actually, there have been studies on what is called the "2nd brain." The large mass of nerve fibers that are found throughout the torso of humans.

I'm sure there have. I can also tell you that you can find a study on just about anything. Researchers are, by their very nature, a bored group of people and like to come up with strange (and sometimes wacky) ideas to gain grants. These grants then fund their studies, which produce the most important thing -- papers! These papers can then published in journals and the researchers can get their name(s) known throughout their field (sometimes beyond too).

What all boils down to is the little term: "Publish or perish." Anyone in a field that conducts research will tend to live by that idea. Unfortunately, this means there will be tons upon tons of completely worthless studies, all of which generally prove very little (if that much).

hmmm, something doesn't seem quite right here. I can't believe she's not even a suspect.......or maybe she is....

That's what I was thinking... are they that naive that they aren't even considering that she just might have something to do with it?

These weren't just papers published for the sake of publishing. These were actual accounts. We don't know very much about the nervous system. It wasn't until recently that we found out the human brain can actually produce new neurons to replace those that are lost. It was always believed we were born with a set amount of neurons and that was it.

Yes... so what? I'm not arguing with you about the CNS, ANS or PNS. The brain and nervous system is an amazing thing. We've got that. Good.

What I'm saying is that organs such as your spleen or pancreas don't carry personality traits or memories. Implanting someone's liver into another person won't turn a "hawk" into a "dove." Donating a kidney to someone else won't make them think, talk and behave like you nor will they suddenly decide to dress the same or enjoy similar foods.

I can tell you one thing that will happen, though. If someone receives an organ from another person and that organ is diseased in some fashion -- such as with cancer or HIV -- then the new recipient will have to deal with that problem now. They won't get their donor's thoughts and feelings, however.
