By ‘‘this’’, I mean the popular superstition that accepting donated organs from registered sex offenders as part of an organ transplant will turn you into a pedophile.
Like… a tonne of people actually think that if you get a kidney from a registered sex offender transplanted into your body, it will turn you into a pedophile.
It’s wild.
As long as society allows itself to be ruled by superstition, no progress will ever be made.
I’ve never heard of this before
I have… obviously, usually from middle-aged or older people.
I don’t know that this is all that popular of a superstition as I couldn’t find anything at all on the internet regarding this.
Maybe this is some kind of regional kookery. Probably be best if it stayed that way.
I don’t even know where such a belief would come from…
Though just as fictional Criminal might give a more potentially believable scenario as to how someone might assimilate beliefs or characteristics of the donor.
