Memories Transplanted With Organs

I recently came across an interesting and novel phenomenon via a remarkable fact I read on Kickassfacts.com. It seems organ recipients sometimes have living memories or peculiar affinities which somehow carried over along from their donor. Can the ‘Ship of Theseus’ that arrives with new oars, planks, and sail be considered the same ship that left port?

Ethically, very few religions around the world actually have a problem with organ harvesting and transplantation. With reference to harvesting from the brain-dead, Pius XII said that knowledge of when death occurs is the domain of medical science. However some Judaic authorities take issue with harvesting the organs of a brain-dead individual because anything that will stop the heart beating causes death. Even Jehovah’s Witnesses have changed their stance since the 1980s, excluding the acceptance of an organ from their definition of cannibalism (which includes accepting blood transfusions).

However, no religions to my knowledge presently acknowledge the idea that a person may somehow be incarnate after their death when another person has accepted that person’s organ. Enter the present strange and unexplainable phenomena.

Paul Pearsall has actually written a book about the phenomenon of people retaining memories from their organ donors called “The Heart’s Code.” There are many fascinating case studies of people who have mysterious knowledge or tendencies which appeared after they accepted another person’s organ, especially when they have accepted another person’s heart. Among the strangest cases are two in which the recipient changed sexual orientation, several in which children can mysteriously identify their donor’s parents or facts about their donor’s life, and a man who has a recurring dream of the murder of his donor.

50 Shades Of Grey Injury Explosion!

Ouch! Sex toy related injuries have surged since the release of Fifty Shades of Grey 50 Shades Of Grey Injury Explosion!

he NHS and London Fire Brigade are bracing themselves for a slew of sex related injuries. Because Fifty Shades of Grey hits our cinemas and our bedrooms this weekend.

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) said today it was ‘concerned’ the film’s release could lead to a ‘spike’ in people being stuck or trapped in handcuffs or bindings.

Since April, it has attended 393 such incidents.

Meanwhile, sex toy injuries have doubled overall since 2007. And, according to recent figures, they saw a spike in 2012 and 2013 following the release of the Fifty Shades mummy porn trilogy.

These concerning stats, reported by the Washington Post, come courtesy of the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, which has tracked casualty admissions since 1991.

Injuries relating to ‘massage devices and vibrators’ rocketed in 2012, when 2,500 people checked in at the ER. The first Fifty Shades of Grey book was released in 2011. There is no proof the two are linked, but, well, it’s safe to assume they could be.

Thankfully, most injuries incurred were not too severe.

71 per cent of patients were treated and released, with only 25 per cent requiring hospitalization. And the good news was that none of the cases required assistance from the fire department, and zero deaths were recorded.

Phew.

However, with reports that sex shops on both sides of the Atlantic are already stocking up on their sex toys ahead of the film’s release this weekend while B&Q is warning staff to expect a run on DIY S&M items there could be trouble ahead for an already stretched NHS.

Stay safe out there folks.

Dog travels 20 blocks to find owner in hospital

CEDAR RAPIDS, IA . A miniature schnauzer was living proof of the incredible bond between humans and their four legged companions when she escaped her home and walked 20 blocks into the hospital where her owner Nancy Franck was recovering from cancer surgery.

According to TV station KCRG, no one knows how Sissy found the hospital, but a surveillance video showed her walking into the lobby and wandering the halls, apparently searching for her owner.

“She missed mom,” daughter Sarah Wood told the station. “That’s all I can say. She missed mom and she knew to come see mom.”

Hospital security identified Sissy’s owner using her dog tags and brought the clever canine to Nancy Franck’s hospital room for a quick visit, KCRG reported.  Franck, who had been battling uterine cancer, said the reunion was definitely good medicine for her.

“That was great just being able to see her,” Nancy Franck told KCRG. “That was perfect. I’m glad she thought of it.”

KCRG in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, KTLA, and CNN contributed to this story.

2 men beat woman with glass because she is transgender

Two men were arrested on charges of assault as a hate crime after allegedly beating a woman because she is transgender, prosecutors in New York said.

Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson said that Mashawn Sonds, 25, of Brownsville, has been arraigned on a nine count indictment in which he is charged with first degree assault as a hate crime for allegedly striking the 28 year old transgender woman in the head with a two by four piece of plexiglass, causing severe injuries.


 A second defendant indicted in the attack will be arraigned later this month.

Mashawn of Hegeman Avenue, was arraigned before Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Danny Chun, on an indictment in which he is charged with first-degree assault as a hate crime, first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault as a hate crime, two counts of second-degree assault, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree menacing as a hate crime and third-degree menacing.

The defendant was ordered held on $250,000. Another defendant, Tyquan Eversley, 17, of Bradford Street in East New York, was arrested in connection with the attack.

His bail was set at $17,500. Each of the defendants faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted of the top charge.

According to the police investigation, the 28-year-old transgender woman was walking with a gay male friend when she was approached by the defendants, who allegedly yelled “we don’t want f*****s on our block,” among other things.

It is alleged that Eversley then struck the victim, Kimball Hartman, with a filled garbage bag, knocking her to the ground. He then allegedly continued to assault her, as Sonds and two unapprehended others continued to yell homophobic slurs.

Sonds allegedly then picked up a piece of plexiglass and swung it at Hartman. As she tried to get away, he allegedly threw the plexiglass and struck her in the head.

The victim (who) was knocked unconscious, began seizing and suffered profuse bleeding from the back of her head. She sustained a traumatic brain injury, underwent surgery to her skull, and will likely suffer permanent injuries.
