Traits of organ donors showing up in their new bodies

Makes you wonder a bit, but pretty cool!

Some heart recipients report strange changes

excerpt:

"For most of her life, the young woman hated sports.

And though she was born and raised in Tucson, she never liked Mexican food. She craved Italian and was a pasta junkie.

But three years ago, all that changed for Jaime Sherman, 28, when she underwent a heart transplant at University Medical Center, after battling a heart defect since birth.

"Now I love football, baseball, basketball. You name it, I follow it," said Sherman, a psychology student at Arizona State University. "And Mexican food is by far my favorite."

She'd heard similar stories - of people who get donor hearts, develop new and surprising tastes and traits, then trace them to the donor. It's an eerie phenomenon that has triggered controversy and skepticism."

I read a story similar to this before. Young man, never drank beer before, then had transplant, now drinks beer and eats certain foods (that the donor consumed)...very interesting to say the least.

Trippy.

Well, a friend of mine was a coffee freak. Drinks coffee all day long. Sips on a soda now and then. After his colon cancer and had part of his colon removed, he doesn't like to do either. Go figure.

After my broken ankle surgery I still am a Coke drinking, steak eating, horny SOB.
