1 archived appearance · 1997

Claire Sylvia (1943–2009) was a heart-lung transplant recipient and author who claimed to have inherited memories, food cravings, and personality traits from her young male organ donor, documented in her remarkable book A Change of Heart. On Art Bell's programs, her deeply personal account raised profound questions about cellular memory, the nature of identity, and the possibility that consciousness resides beyond the brain.
