□ of Chen Di (China Daily feature articles) Memory Can Transplant? Doctors and researchers are not conclusive on this issue. In real life, there are no successful examples of memory or personality being transferred to others. In 2006, a British boy named Carden Delaney, 17 years old from Australia, died in a car accident. His parents donated his heart and other organs. Two years later, Delaney’s parents found the son of the heart recipients, a 24-year-old man named David Waters from Adelaide, Australia. Waters was surprised to find that he had an interest in hamburgers after the heart transplant, whereas before the surgery, he wasn’t interested in them at all. According to Delaney’s parents, their son could not be separated from snacks during his lifetime. In fact, many people believe that only the human brain stores memories or personal qualities. The case of Waters proves this view once again. Some scientists point out that there are at least 70 cases worldwide where organ transplant patients have experienced personality changes, becoming more like the donor's personality traits. For example, in 1995, a U.S. patient who underwent a heart transplant fell in love with the donor’s widow during his rehabilitation and married her. Surprisingly, 12 years after the transplant recipient shot himself, it was revealed that the donor, a man, also committed suicide. In another case, an 8-year-old girl who received the heart of a murdered little girl began dreaming of the man who killed her donor. The police eventually captured the murderer based on the clues she described.
