You are dying because you have developed a condition in your heart which cannot be cured. You will die, leaving your family without a mother/father.

There is a donor heart available but it comes from a convicted murderer who died that day. Do you take it?

Yes:		67 (80.7%)
No:		2 (2.4%)
You fcuking daft cnut:		14 (16.9%)
Total:	83

Would Gbaji/Varrus take a gay heart or die? hmmmm

I ask as this article raised the question. Having seen some evidence that throws forward the idea that recipients of donors hearts gain their donors traits and memories, I do wonder if I would think twice.

Wouldn't even thing twice about it. It's a piece of meat, and a useful piece of meat that might save my life.

If it was a match, yes.

Please explain. Traits related to the organ? Sure. Memories? What? My dad had two kidney transplants and it didn't really affect him too much. What this sounds like is someone knowing the past of their donor and simply hallucinating (making false memories or scenarios) after the surgery because of the pain killers and immunosuppressants. Because of the vividness of these thoughts, they are 'real'.

I'd take it. I don't buy into the paranoia. If anything, it'd at least make for an interesting court case. "It wasn't me, your honor, it was my liver that made me kill that school full of kindergartners."

Evidence where the patient is aware of the previous owner's behavior is invalid. Have you seen evidence where a patient has received a transplant with no knowledge of the previous owner's behavior?

Evidence like this programme showed?

I watched this a while ago. There was a woman who started craving particular foods after her heart transplant. She started enquiring and eventually found out that the food she was craving, was the food that her donor had bought before his death. She had no previous knowledge of the man.

I think it's bullshit. It could have been something along the lines of the heart being in a persons body with a protein deficiency or something else. The body craved it (because the heart did) and the donor simply went for the most common food available.

I wouldn't take a murderer's heart for the same reason I would take transplant muscles from a recently paralyzed man. I don't want to catch paraplegia, and I certainly don't want to get infected with murderitis. Think about it, would you wear a wig made from cancer patient hair?

That would be the kind yes (if true.) I don't know if it's true or not.

I'd still take the heart.

this thread needs a poll.

If I was in need of a heart and they had a match then I wouldn't hestitate to take it, or ask any questions to where it was coming from.

I'd take it, in a heartbeat . If I die because I refuse it, then thats another death he could add to his tally .

I don't believe people take on traits from donated organs - the logic doesn't fit with me . EVEN if it is true that it can happen, I like to think my own personality and behaviour would be the stronger factor in my decisions .

I feel the same way Smiley: nod

I was just curious. This board has some really irrational people when it comes to gay marriage and the like so I was wondering if that extended to such topics as transplantation.

I would take it, then I would go on a murderous rampage, but leave on person alive. At the trial, when asked why I left my last victim alive, I'd say my heart wasn't in it.

Didn't Homer receive a hair transplant from a murderer and go crazy and try to murder his family?

Yes. I'd find and upload a pic but Windows 2000 doesn't know what a .png is.

We're all painfully aware. You can upload files as PNGs, but my stupid work uses Windows 2000.

Considering that the heart of someone who took a life can now save a life, I'd do it without thinking twice about it.

All the better if said murderer's religion is against organ donation and he forgot to let the warden know that. Karmic justice ftw.

I'm pretty sure that every Tree House of Horrors is a parody of older sci-fi and horror movies and series.
