Really odd. Incredibly interesting though.

Very interesting and after reading the article I agree with what they said in it. (Though usually these kinds of articles are biased and only state examples of odd occurences instead of what usually happens but meh...).

That's kinda normal when it comes to transplants. I once read a paper on how it's all psychological [you feel those urges yourself and say that it's because of the transplant].

I myself don't buy it, tbh :/

I think that is remarkable. Not sure if I believe the whole thing, more research needs to be done.

I guess why not? I mean, there's life. Where does life come from? I donno. Some people say a cosmic explosion. Where did that explosion come from? I donno. Some people say God. Where did God come from? I donno. Life's so weird I don't exclude anything...

I'd really like to see sources cited, because I can't find anything on this besides the name of the doctor, who is indeed real. But anyone can invoke a real doctor's name easily, the same way it's easy to find them.

Fact or fiction, it's interesting regardless. Popular science, tempered with skepticism, is always entertaining.

I think it's phony.

But it's interesting.

There is no science here. This article describes an idea inspired by anecdotes. The bit of content regarding neurons in the heart seems to have been thrown in for good measure but it is no way proof. Still, why not study this? Interesting. The heart would not be alone but muscles also, since they have muscular memory.

I must have missed the point, why is the possibility of heart memory suddenly an issue of intrigue? Every time a cell divides, it has to remember which of its genes are switched on or off at the time. Instincts are inherent disposition of an animal toward a particular behavior;, Birds flying North, Dogs circling before they lie, Elephants migrating towards specific water holes. These subjects still mystify scientists.

I guess the article is interesting..I just hope no one needs a penis transplant.
