"Cellular memory" in athletes is always touted as one of the reasons they can perform impressive feats over and over again with such accuracy.
Perhaps in the instance of receiving an organ from a person who committed suicide, the act of killing themselves is stored as a cellular memory experience and seen as a "solution" to problems encountered.
Perhaps the recipient found himself in a depressive state for whatever reason, and due to cellular memory, suicide seemed like a valid solution because it had even been performed before.
Think about it...
The organ with its memories would have less to fear than any body/part which has 'committed suicide' and subsequently died because the heart went on to live (in this case) even after having committed that act.
