Well, if the guy needed a heart transplant he was probably in poor health anyway.

Transplant patients often have eerie, inexplicable impulses that can be traced to the donor, like the urge to smoke or the ability to play music. Scientists now have discovered that memory is not localized in the brain. (Great plot for a novel, too.)WHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815646433314236886noreply@blogger.com
