Ep. 116: Heart to Heart - Organ Transplants and the Memories We Keep

The world of the ooky spooky doesn’t belong to cryptids, ghosts and aliens alone. Turns out, we humans are pretty spooky, too, particularly when it comes to matters of the heart. The heart is synonymous with love and the soul. But what would happen If you received the heart of someone else? Would you still be you? Is it possible that you’d take on traits and attributes from your donor? Sounds crazy, right? Turns out, your cells might hold on to memories, and should you ever need an organ, those memories may become yours. This week, we’re digging into science and learning the ins and outs of heart transplants. We’ll hear insane stories from the families of heart donors and recipients and learn that there’s clearly so much more to learn about our incredible bodies and the cells that we’re made of. Happy Haunting!
