Cell Memories (Identity)

The first part of the cited article is quite plausible since it sticks to the known facts. However I am extremely doubtful about the anecdotes offered in the last five paragraphs. These could all result from imaginings based on the patients' knowledge of the source of the donated organ.-Presumably DT's "species consciousness" is something like Jung's "collective unconscious" (though the correspondence sounds somewhat paradoxical!): 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_unconscious 
and I've always found this concept quite plausible, since it is the result of evolution of living things with nerve systems. It is the common evolutionary part of each person's individuality.-However projecting this back onto some "universal consciousness" makes no sense to me. Consciousness or unconsciousness requires a nervous system in which to function.
