Will the transplanted heart from an angry donor turn a
dedicated scientist into a bioterrorist? Wherein Lies the Human
Soul?
PARK
CITY, Utah, Aug. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Decades ago, author/physician
Beverly Hurwitz witnessed stunning changes in a patient whose
life had been saved by a liver transplant. Transplant patients'
experiences of alien emotions have mostly been attributed to the
side effects of the medications that help ward off rejection of the
donor organ. But as transplant medicine has grown, increasing
numbers of organ recipients are reporting the development of
feelings, preferences, and sometimes memories that are not their
own. Is the brain the only seat of consciousness? Could it be that
our souls reside in the DNA of all of our cells?

The Tale of a Transplanted Heart pulls the curtain
back on a research laboratory where scientists seek ways to protect
humanity from deadly diseases by manipulating the DNA of dangerous
germs. The story follows the life of an internationally acclaimed
researcher who studies the advanced immunologic defenses of bats,
but who becomes a threat to his own lab after receiving a donor
heart. This story also exposes the darker side of such research:
cutthroat competition for funding, unenforced lab regulations, lab
accidents, and the potential creation of biologic weaponry.
Will we ever really know if the germ that caused the COVID
pandemic emerged spontaneously in nature, or was it created in a
lab? And if COVID was a designer virus, was its escape accidental?
This novel might leave you wondering if there could actually be a
dangerous lab in your neighborhood, as was the case in 2023, when
numerous sick animals and lethal germs were discovered in an
illegal lab that was concealed in a warehouse in Reedley, California.
This story also opens a window into the world of transplant
medicine, where "only twenty percent of potential donor hearts
actually get to a recipient on time, and only about ten percent of
patients waiting for a new heart are lucky enough to get one in
time."
While following the impact of the surprising changes in the
heart recipient in this story, the reader will be provoked to
contemplate what makes each of us unique as individuals.
Additionally, this novel offers insight into the long-lasting
impact of infections, and the nature of the raging war between man
and microbes. As a bonus, the reader might also come to appreciate
and maybe even learn to love the most misunderstood of mammals, the
lowly bat.
