| #32 To Serve Man That one gave me nightmares. Also the one where they were domesticated around a messiah-like figure as they headed into a long space journey. |

| #28 Some great stories of Polynesion warriors taking prisoners and then tossing them in a pit. They would be subjected to constant ridicule while being tossed into the cooking pot as needed. The following morning, the warriors would then continue to insult and laugh at the pile of feces that had the day before been their enemy. |

| #24 The epigenetic carriage of essential survival characteristics vital to all organisms is not concerned with semantic or cultural memories, as most people like to refer to in conversation. We just say that... genetic memory... for basically what is classical conditioning that starts at at infancy. In reality the cellular memory passed down in the DNA is mostly carrying only vital information about dietary habits, geographic situation, basically what the body should expect to encounter. As I understand it. |

| #20 There was this experiment. A little rigged in my opinion, one of those things where you try and fit the facts to the theory. Scientists taught some rats to negotiate a maze. Then they ground up and minced the rats, made nice slim jims outta them and fed 'em to new, clueless rats. Well, what do you know, the rats went through the maze in one try! And they all but concluded that the dead rats' meat still held the memory of the maze. Brrrr... Some tribe in North India, descended from Mongols, believes if you eat your enemy, or some part of him, you will own all his experience and wisdom collected over the years. Also all his wives, who will love you just as they did him. 🙃 |

| #17 No, TW. Body memory is a hypothetical concept by weed-cake eating new age scientists. They like to believe that the entire body is storing long term implicit memories including emotional responses to stimuli and the conditioning to pre-empt such thereof. Muscle memory is natural conditioning of motor nerves and development of kinesics on repeated movements. While some geniuses say our emotional states and semantic or long term memories, basically our persona is being distributed all over the body via somatic markers that link emotions to biological changes. Something like that, I still can't pin it down to any coherent theory, just like any new age hypothesis. But one crazed dogma that could arise from that is, that a psychopathic paedophile's heart or liver may bring with it not just a lease of life for a recipient but also a little implicit assholery, or viscerally remembered happy happy expectations of dopamine at seeing little girls cry. |

| #15 I meet I guy in a local Greek restaurant, nice guy, and told me that reason that was not drinking was because was recovering from an organ transplant . One of the fascinating think was that even if was vegetarian his entire life, was now a carnivore and love to drive motorcycles witch never did before. Exactly like the dead motorcycle donor was. Basically the theory of cellular memory suggests that it isn't only the brain that is capable of storing and recalling experiences. Rather, the body itself can hold memories. Now rebranded as body memory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_memory |

| #13 You mean body memory Do you mean muscle memory, Dron? Training a series of motions until it no longer requires conscious thought to execute, just starting the first step in the sequence? Examples are martial arts forms, choreographed dances, playing a piece of music. Or possibly Aca Joe was referring to epigenetic learning. This is from a few years ago: Inherited Learning? It Happens, but How Is Uncertain Studies suggest that epigenetics allows some learned adaptive responses to be passed down to new generations. The question is how. According to the article, McConnell’s multi-generation flatworm maze-learning studies from the 1960s were discredited, more’s the pity. The things I would already know if only cannibalism weren’t evil as well as unhealthy! ;-) (That’s for you, Glonter Peacock9977.) |

| #8 You mean body memory, Aca Joe. Cellular memory is the conditioning of certain cells to respond better to stimuli they encounter repeatedly. And there's no 'discovery' regarding the body as capable of storing semantic memory. It's a half baked hypothesis. |

| #6 Because the new discoveries regarding “cellular memory” this sort of organ donation should no be allowed, criminal organs should not be used . |
