The above stuff I take with a bag of salt.

Or it could just be the trauma of transplant surgery.

She was the first woman in the Netherlands to have a heart transplant.

At the time Dutch doctors wouldn't give her a new heart so she had to go to England.

Every Dutch newspaper had a story about her.

But to answer the question yes it could be possible but I think that my grandma was still the same person that she was before she had the transplant.

What caused them to be different? Not their experiences. Not their brains that record their experiences - at that point, the only thing they had experienced was my internal organs - and they both got the same experience there.

Something causes basic, innate personality traits. Is it the soul? I have no idea. But it is not just the brain. Is this connection linked to every part of the body? Again, I have no idea.

Can this "something" be transfered with an organ transplant?

I don't know, but it is certainly possible. And in the above link, it seems to have happen with some transplant donors and recipients.

Not unless it is a successful braintransplant, which we are a hell of a long way from accomplishing.

Who knows what, if any, difference that could make. The body is still a great mystery - for all we've learned about it, we have a great deal still to learn.

In this case we're talking of the patient getting a new body; not a new brain. The term "brain transplant" is a contradiction in terms.

I think people who beat the odds just adopt a new outlook, which manifests itself as an individual's "reformed personality", but not that of the donor's.
