But dualism corresponds better to the idea of transferring memories via the heart? That would make sense if my memories, stored out there in some akashic record sort of repository, were related to my body via some kind of tagging mechanism. Then if part of my body is moved to another person, the akashic record retrieval system gets confused and hands some of my memories to the new person. A kidney transplant should do the trick just as well as a heart transplant.
I think it's a case of confirmation bias.
