Woman sees own heart on display

The World

A human heart is one of the items on display at an exhibition currently running in London. And the woman who the heart once belonged to was there to see it. 23-year-old Jennifer Sutton is a heart-transplant survivor who donated the heart to the Wellcome Collection to put on show. Anchor Lisa Mullins speaks with Sutton about the experience of seeing her old heart on display.
