Post-show death links… and love!

Thanks to Jared Zsombor, Medical Investigator, for a fascinating and somewhat amusing look at death.

A couple of resources I looked at for the discussion of organ donation and “transferred memory” were:

Mindshock: Transplanting Memories – A non-skeptical transferred memory program Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

Skeptical article on cellular memory

Transplant doctor on cellular memory

And thanks so much to all of you that took the opportunity to show us love by donating.

Congratulations to Susan, the lucky winner of the movie evening with the lovely hosts of your favorite radio program!

Don’t worry if you didn’t have time to donate during this show… you have another chance on October 31st, which is also another chance to win. Or go here for other ways to give us your money.

Thanks again… and keep listening!

Next Week: Everything you ever wanted to know about death…

Hello, folks. Next show we’ll be speaking with Jared Zsombor, Medical Investigator, about DEATH.

We’ve all wondered about what happens after you die. Is there a heaven? Do you get 72 virgins? Do you get reincarnated as a snail?

Or is this is all there is?

Well, next show we won’t be speaking about that at all. But we will be speaking about what happens to your body after you die.

Like, is the last thing you see burned into your retina? Or if someone with a pacemaker dies, does their heart keep beating? If you get an organ transplant, do you develop the personality traits of the previous owner?

Find out the answers to these and all your other morbid questions on the next Q Transmissions.

And as the next show is a FunDrive* episode, remember to bring your wallet.
