Tricia Woodward, a resident of Whitnash Village in Warwickshire, England, recently donated one of her kidneys to her husband, David. After the transplant surgery, David returned home to recuperate. However, a few days later, he suddenly had an intense craving for chocolate upon waking up in the morning and couldn't resist walking to the store to buy some. This was the first time in his life he had ever purchased chocolate.
David, aged 46, mentioned that although his wife is a chocolate lover, he himself had never been fond of sweets before. His 39-year-old wife was also quite puzzled: why had her husband, who had never eaten chocolate before, developed such an intense craving for it after the kidney transplant? (According to a report from China News Service on January 11).
The editor of Scientific Atheism: In "The Demon-Haunted World," Sagan mentioned a method that could supposedly give animals memories: grinding an animal with certain abilities or habits into powder and having its peers consume it, thereby transferring those abilities or habits. Sagan considered this pseudoscience. Reading this report reminded me of what Sagan had said.
