Some transplant recipients experience changes in personality, proclivities, and some even experience dreams and memories of the individuals that they received a transplant from. It's terrifying to think about.

My co-worker Sandy died of a stroke at 40 and three different people received transplants from her. Her family wanted to meet them and had a picnic a year or so after she died. One of the recipients said that she kept having a thought saying, “Sandy is okay.” This was before the family reached out to her and she knew Sandy’s name. I would have never believed such a thing if I didn’t know this family and hear it directly from them.
