Many patients who have had organ transplants also receive the preferences, habits and memories of their donors, as in the case of Claire Sylvia.
Sylvia received the heart and lungs of an 18-year old boy who had died in a motorcycle accident and soon found herself craving foods that she had never previously craved but which, it turned out had been the favorites of her donor. In 1997, she wrote about her experiences in the book, ‘A Change of Heart.’
