Most adult cells in the body have a particular purpose which cannot be changed.
For instance, a liver cell is developed to perform specific functions, and cannot be transformed to suddenly take on the role of a heart cell.
Stem cells are the ones that can be 'morphed' into any particular cell that may be needed in the body...but this is being tested still...
So, if a heart cell can't be a liver cell, i don't see how it's possible that a kidney is carrying personality traits of another person...now, if the man had a portion of his wife's brain transplanted, then maybe it would make more sense.

@Xavier - Babe I don't think this is true, at least NOT with the kidney situation. I can't see the connection behind it or how that can make that impact. So no I don't belive it.
Anyhow babe if it just so happens for it to be a possibility then its a good thing, cus maybe one day I'll need of a kidney tranplant myself (as u already know) & you can kindly give it to me & that why I can stop tryin to be like you , I'll just inherit it.

So the lady is happy because it's like being married to herself?
i don't know and i'm no science expert, but each and every cell in the body has it's job and purpose...they don't morph and decide 'hmm, today i'll be a braincell'....
so, is it possible? no se, i have to research this a bit more....interesting.

A MAN transplanted with one of his wife's kidneys claims to have taken on her personality.
Ian Gammons, married to wife Lynda for 31 years, says he was always the rugby-loving man of the house who hated cooking, shopping and gardening.
Now the 51-year-old Briton is never happier than when baking scones or "wandering round the shops and looking for bargains", he says.
He has even begun to share his wife's love of dogs, an animal he despised before receiving the kidney a year ago.
"It sounds absolutely ridiculous but I've started to enjoy cooking quite a lot, particularly baking," said Gammons, of Weston, Lincolnshire.
"I love making scones and cakes. My daughters tell me they are very good. I've also become more intuitive. Now I go with my gut feeling.
Lynda said: "I noticed it after a few months. He said something and it just struck me, that he said exactly what I would have said.
"When you live with somebody for 30 years you know the responses. We talked it over and he said 'You're right. I'd never have said that before'.
"I love it. It's wonderful that we are so close and seem to be getting closer."
This year, American William Sheridan, 63, claims he was blessed with the ability to paint after receiving the heart of an artistic 24-year-old stockbroker killed in a car crash.
The increasingly popular theory of "cellular memory" claims that living cells "memorise" and recall characteristics of the previous body.
