What I find most interesting about such stories is how the recipients will sometimes report cravings that they never had before, such as for cigarettes or certain foods, or new interests, and later learn that the donor smoked, like those foods, etc. That wasn't reported in this story, but in others I've read on part transplants.

More evidence of "cell memory."

I can see a REALLY stupid movie plot coming out of this

I think it's been done, lol. ("Face Off")

Ah, but did Travolta or whoever start having personality changes?
Get involved with the donor's old girlfriend? All that good stuff?
