Since according to the theory, everyone's personalities and minds are stored not only in their brains but each one of their cells, and they've stayed there after the donor has died to survive in the patient, would our minds stay in our bodies after we die and no one takes an organ to anything? As in, sit and rot as our bodies do? :(

  1. Isn't that essentially heaven/afterlife. Whatever you believe in.


  2. Scientifically speaking yes, personality is stored in each cell of brain

    but when a patient dies each cell of his body dies so naturally brain cells of patient also dies and there is no personality of that man will remain .So,those cells will also with body

  3. This Cellular Memory theory is unsupported by evidence. Though there are limited reports of people receiving transplanted organs, and seeming to gain traits of the donor, these are more easily explained as a psychological shift due to a life-changing experience.

    There are thousands of organ and tissue transplantation procedures every year - and the vast majority of them are not linked with any such personality change.

    The issue of our minds remaining in our bodies is even less likely. "Mind" is a construct of the interactions of neurons in the brain. When you die, your neurons stop firing, and so there no longer is a mind.

    Interestingly, however, the belief that you remain in your body is an old Christian belief. It was originally held that your soul remained in your body until the "Trump of Doom", when everyone would be *physically* ressurrected, and would then be judged by God. It was only the saints and martyrs who ascended to heaven immediately on death.

    This is the reason why body snatching and grave-violation were such serious crimes.

    Nowadays, the doctrine is that you are judged immediately on death, and sent to Heaven or h**l (or Purgatory).


  4. Memory does not reside in any cells of the body except the brain. DNA is in every cell, but memory has nothing to do with DNA. And your question then is specific about the mind. This regards your belief of an afterlife/ whatever you think comes or doesn't come next. There is no way to observe or measure if memories degrade or a person's soul is there or not. That if the reason it is called "faith." Because you have faith that you will live in the afterlife, but now this is a religous debate.
