Note, however: While this web site has "journal" in its title, it is not a scientific publication. Namah describes itself as "The Journal of Integral Health" -- it is published by a branch of a yogic spiritual community. This doesn't necessarily mean that the anecdotes described there are false, but I'd be inclined to take them with a grain of salt.

Acquiring memories and personalities through organ transplants is a somewhat known urban legend and a fiction trope, but AFAIK the only thing you can transmit through a transplant that's been verifiably demonstrated is pathogens.
And DNA, in the case of bone marrow transplant: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/07/us/dna-bone-marrow-transp...
Small aside about memory in humans: I am reminded of a story told during a lecture of a transplant recipient receiving a heart transplant and was interviewed after the successful surgery about what they would like to eat now that they had a new heart (previously, was on a really restricted diet due to heart condition). The person responded with "Kentucky fried chicken" on a whim. It was later explained that they don'…
Thanks for sharing. We kind of waste our time by verifying with science for new surprises. We live for googling -> starting threads). Instead, simplify the facts and write it down on paper. Keep accumulating your findings, you will come up with your own more connected theories. Occasionally, prove your theories wrong to build a stronger base knowledge.

You are apparently long, long overdue a revision of a few history books. It should very quickly become self-evident that it is in fact worth our collective time (and probably our individual time too, as it's a real achievement that everyone benefits from) to perform scientific studies.

"What are you going to do with your new heart?" "Clog it up just like the last one. duh."
If we are empathetic, capable of being aware of other people's feelings, it is reasonable that the memories attached to awareness exist not isolated in the individual but across people.
How proud and how wrong we can be. To disregard and minimise this research because it does not fit neatly within existing paradigms, is a crime. Hundreds of millions of dollars should be being poured into this research, the implications for our understanding of fundamental biology are profound.

> We live for That's false. And please hold on with "your own theories". We have too much "fun" with antivaxers already.
This is for the US, from CDC data, so probably 30-something percent depending on how many were between 60 and 64:
>Totals For 2010: 2,468,435 people of all ages died. About 11.9% aged 25 to 54. 24.5% aged 25 to 64

And this https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TO65.MA.ZS
shows numbers kinda all over the place depending on country, depending on where the person is from it may very well be that the majority die before 60-65 in their country.
Angola, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, both Congo, Cote d'Ivorie, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Eswatini, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Lesotho, Malawi, Mongolia, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Togo, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe all appear to be under 60% chance (one or two may be at or above, I made the list quickly) of making it to 65 if I'm reading that table correctly.
So, that's about 679 million people using 2017 numbers found via Google so not even 9% of the global population but still, that's roughly a 1 in 12 chance they are from a country where death before 65 is a thing for 40-60% of the population.
Also TIL Nigeria has 191 million people!!! Wow, I would have never come close to that if told to guess.
