A new study suggests that organ transplant recipients may inherit memories and personality traits from their donors. Recipients have reported changes in emotions, habits, and even sexual orientation. 

Notable cases include a boy who developed a fear of water after a heart transplant, and a professor who experienced unusual sensations. 

The research proposes "cellular memory" as a potential explanation for these changes. However, skeptics argue that the alterations may stem from medications or psychological responses to the surgery. More interdisciplinary studies are needed to investigate these phenomena further.
