Not documented: This is a very difficult question to develop a believable, authoritative response that you will believe. The simple answer is no. However, emotions are not that easy to measure or track. Plus, the newly transplanted recipient has many reasons to have altered emotions because of the major experiences that happen. Overall, the transplantation of emotions with the donor's heart is not documented.
