The Concept of Cellular Memory

I was watching the Tyra Banks Show today and Jessica Alba was its guest. She's still gorgeous and hot and an expecting mom. ^-^ I envy her. I'm going to be like her - sexy, hot expecting momma soon!

She promoted her newest movie, "The Eye", which she described as "a scary movie without the gore". In the movie, she played a blind musician who was given a corneal transplant. After the transplant, she started "seeing" weird things that led her to believe she was going crazy.

One concept that the movie uses to explain the "visions" is "cellular memory". This concept hypothesize that memories are not only stored in the brains but also in the receptor cells of our body. Freaky, right?

This brings further explanation about heart transplant recipients falling inlove with the same people that the donor used to love. Now, I'm having goosebumps...

A liver transplant recipient graced the show to prove that he experienced something weird after he received his new liver. He narrated that he used to have a "sweet tooth". But after the transplant, he totally lost his taste for sweets and find a liking for spaghetti. It's really freaky for him because he didn't like spaghetti before.

Tyra and her staff were able to contact the family of the donor. The donor was a teener who died of an accident. They found out that he didn't like sweets and his favorite food was--guess what?

Spaghetti! Scary, huh?!
