I agree and theirs a good number of books about this but science refuses to really investigate this thoroughly because it poses other questions that don't fit the scientific method I guess? But I do know this, ALL of our organs are intelligent cells and to me this sounds perfect and normal because how would your body know to breath continously for 60-80 years without fail or what about all the abuse we put to our body I mean its like were in a fight with our own bodies and its takes intelligence to keep the great machine running smoothly even though we continue to bombard our bodies. I think all living cells have a memory and that is the big question that continues to go overlooked but this is not just my idea but common place among people who choose to look past what numbers can say. But yes, I have heart stories about heart transplants where people who were transplanted with another persons organs take on the personality of the deceased.

You know, a year ago, I would have said the same thing that the first two people said. But, I've heard a few cases where people would start liking the same things that the donor would like that they've never liked before. Or, there were some other small changes in likes/dislikes and personality, nothing really major. It makes me wonder about our bodies and brains.

no the heart is just an organ to pump blood through the body. People sometimes say that someone is heartless reffering to to their lack of caring or feeling but thats just an expression.

no not at all possible.
The heart is an organ composed of cells and that flows with blood, it has some muscle in it but thats all.
All of the feelings/memories/thinking part of your body is your brain.
A heart can basically be seen as a muscle that beats to make your blood flow, nothing else.
The expression I love you with all my heart is false, it should be i love you with all my brain (even if its in only a part of your brain) but people use it because its symbolic and much prettier (welcome to the illogical world of literature XD)
