The answer

"Discussions on these matters are only acceptable from trustworthy specialists. The claim of religious conversion due to blood transfusion is refuted by reality. As for the effect of heart transplantation, modern medicine has conducted experiments on heart replacement, and their results indicate that the recipient may live for a limited period, mostly characterized by stillness and inactivity, and may not fully comprehend the extent of the change that has occurred within them.

It appears that a person does not convert from faith to disbelief or vice versa by receiving another heart. The disbeliever remains in their disbelief, and the believer in their faith. However, it is not impossible for the recipient to be affected by certain influences due to interaction, observation, hearing, and so forth, as the heart is associated with a spiritual aspect, even though it is not the sole organ responsible for perception and emotion."
