Some organ transplant recipients find themselves changing in ways that transcend physical explanation. Friends and family members report watching loved ones' personalities begin to shift -- becoming more aligned with the organ donor. This phenomenon even happens when the recipient knows nothing about the donor, as though they are tapping into some innate consciousness, picking up on the donor's hobbies, emotions, and experiences. This is particularly true for people who have received a donor heart.
