A Question of Personality

Many people believe that when you receive a transplanted organ, you inherit a part of the donor's personality. Research shows that most people would not accept to have the heart of a serial killer transplanted into their body. Scientists say personality is not located in the heart.

Would you accept to have the heart of a serial killer transplanted into your body if you needed it?

oh,dear stephen, it's always difficulty to answer your question,hehe.but it's  wonderful indeed ,
answer above the question: i would accept it if it's no other choice .
it's evil  of   the sria killer's deed  ,but not  his organ .i accept his heart but not mean  to accept his thoughts. "Scientists say personality is not located in the heart " , it's more better if that's true ,but  I think the scientists' viewpoint is not true ,hehe ,as you know ,they sometimes make some mistakes .in CHINESE MEDICINE 's option  personality is exactly located in the heart . 
Now that is very interesting, isn't it? Chinese medicine locates personality in the heart... I wonder who's right. Who do you think is right? If you accepted the heart of a serial killer, do you think that you would therefore inherit a part of his/her personality?

Correction: be careful of your use of punctuation. Remember that a full stop should always be followed by a capital letter. Also try not to abbreviate in written English. For example: "it's evil of the serial killer" is better written "It is evil of the serial killer". All the best, Stephen.

Thanks for your advice

I agree with the  Chinese medicine's opinion .  Bible of Chinese medicine <HuangdiNeijin>(《黄帝内经》)wrote  by the saints several years ago , It says :Heart, the monarch is also the official, the gods of behavior(心者,君主之官也,神明出焉) . In addition , in many  characters, many of the characters thant describes the act with the "heart" of the  radical-related.such as  "忙"(be busy of),"懒"(lazy),"性情"(disposition),etc. Moreover, in daily life, if someone does not do things seriously, we will say "用心点"(put your heart into it ). So ,I believe it's right .

If I accepted the heart of a serial killer , maybe I would inherit a part of his/her personality .However, the human  is not sentimental anima, but a rational animal , the brain would bind Impulsive behavior . Moreover , the conduct of a person has been a great impact on the environment, so do not worry I will become a killer, perhaps, I just changed the irascible temper  a bit ,hehe

correction : the <HuangdiNeijin>(《黄帝内经》)was wrote  by the saints several thousand years ago

it's also fun topic. thanks. as above opinion, from gavin's, I will accept that organ if there aren't any options. but I might be avoid when this situation would be happen.  In the world , just a few cases have been reported that a donee figured a donor's personality like a skill of painting, disorderly conduct etc but I want to believe this a few cases.
ah, my mistake. a few is not, 'few' is correct.
No doubt, I would accept. Fortunately, personality is not located in the heart. Heart is just a pump. And when the person has an ill 'pump', it doesn't mean, that the person is bad tempered.
