Transplant Patient Had an Emotional Reunion with Her Heart - in a Museum

      A transplant patient had an emotional reunion with her heart when she came face to face with the organ that nearly killed her – in a museum.
    Jennifer Sutton, who gave the heart to the museum to highlight the need for donors, said she had mixed feelings when she saw it.



She added: 'It was slightly surreal but amazing at the same time to see the object that had caused me so much pain and anguish."


'It is weird to think I am stood here alive and that was part of me once upon a time.'

The 23-year-old suffered from the condition restrictive cardiomyopathy since she was 18 and had a transplant earlier this year.
