Weird Unusual Random Question

The other day i was watching Er and they were doing a lung transplant.. and i started thinking about people who donate oragans and my mind got the better or me and i became rather curious about organ transplants... So My question is.. If you put.. Your brain.. and Your heart  Into One person's body.. Would that person Still Be them or would they have become you? Would they then have your traits or still their own traits? Would they have your personality or their own personality? 

I was wondering because no one person is alike.. Nobody has the same heart or the same thought process.. So if you take someone else's heart.. and the same person's brain... How would it any longer be them? LOL.. XD

You know, there's a movie about a woman who receives an eye transplant then begins to see what the donor of her eyes saw.  I seriously doubt things like that have ever happened but, it sure did make a good movie, LOL.  The name of the movie is "The Eye."  It's from 2008 and it starred Jessica Alba.

I would think that the DNA that you are born with would dictate your response to stimuli.  The heart is a muscle for pumping your blood.  Your brain connects all your working parts to tell them what to do.  But perhaps, someone else's brain would have stored their memories.  It's an interesting question.

I don't believe a brain transplant is possible.  Your heart is just an organ.  Think of it like a gas pump in your car.  Whatever car it is in, it is what it is.

I've heard interesting stories about people who have received organ transplants and then have "memories" of the recipient although I don't know if this has ever been verified.  A brain transplant is really a body transplant.  As the organ that perceives who we are the brain establishes the identity.
