Based on the following paragraph alone, I feel quite tempted to file this under ‘utter rubbish’:

> Another hypothesized mechanism [for personality changes] involves alterations in the electromagnetic field of the recipient. Pearsall highlighted the fact that “energy and information are the same thing” (p., 5 [4]). One form of energy is electromagnetic energy, and the heart generates the largest electromagnetic field in the body. Information related to the personality of the donor could be stored within the electromagnetic field of the donor’s heart and this information could then be transferred with the heart during transplant surgery, producing a change in the recipient’s personality [4].

Reads like this [0]:

'the human body as undergirded by a "quantum mechanical body" composed not of matter but energy and information'
