he'd been doing some experimental work, captain, an experimental beam we'd hoped might rehabilitate incorrigibles. van gelder felt he hadn't the moral right to expose another man to something he hadn't tried on his own person. tragedy, doctor. jim... that doesn't quite ring true. uh, dr. adams... please stand by. explain. i don't believe him. i can't explain n , but the more i study that patient-- you don't believe him and you can't explain it. bones, are you aware that in the e st 20 years, dr. adams has done more to revolutionize, to humanize prisons and the treatment of prisoners than all the rest of humanity had done in 40 centuries? i've been to those penal colonies since they've begun following his methods. and they're not cages anymore. jim, listen. gentlemen... i suggest you ask dr. adams if he wants van gelder returned. regarding van gelder... yes, captain. may i inquire about your patrol deststations? are you passing near any hospital facilities rior to ours? i'd like van gelder to have the best possible treatment, of course. thank you, doctor. i'll take it u u with the ship's surgeon.

but because face transplants are still experimental, they first needed nancy to agree. i would donate his face -- i said, of course. and of course at the time i was thinking just parts of his face. and they said, no, we mean the whole face. and they looked at me and they -- i said, of course. i mean, no hesitation. it didn't matter. >> reporter: just two days later, pat is wheeled into surgery. it takes 12 hours to remove the dono dr. rodriguez disappears into patrick's o.r. it will take him another 14 hours to complete this surgery. in the donor's room another team of surgeons rushes in. there are other lives on the line. in operating rooms across the city, four other patients are being prepped for their own life-saving operations. among those saved on this day, two young boys and a 58-year-old transplants. every day 22 americans die waiting for a life-saving transplant. nationally only 50% of eligible adults are even registered as organ donors. >> we have a crisis here. we call it a crisis in the u.s. >> reporter: helen irving runs live on new york, a group that match

eric: abstract art is more experimental.ws the artist to play with your imagination where it focuses on certain aspects of things, so an abstract art, focusing on color per se, jets and pollock would focus on the splattering of paint on the canvas, so they will focus on specific things, sort of simplify the task and allow your imagination freedom to wonder. one of the wonderful things about abstract art in contrast to figurative art is to view a response with very differently. charlie: you say that abstract art and science address questions and goals that are central to humanistic thought. what are those questions? eric: in science, particularly brain science, we want to understand how the human mind works. in art, we want to understand how people respond to works of how their imagination works, how we can stimulate the imagination, what are the things pleasing to people. those are important questions. what enriches your life? charlie: let us take a look. let's go through them. the first one, take a look. eric: i love this.

it's getting a lot of attention now and it is in the experimental side but it's something we're really excited about it. building the continuum of education of adult secondary education to post secondary. >> perfect segue, second chance pell is a huge issue i think an important topic here. so to you, fred, given -- actually, i don't know, at some point, the federal government outlawed pell grants for, if i'm not mistaken, to prisoners? >> state and federal prisoners. >> a, is there a chance we can roll that back? and b, you know, given -- well, either way, i mean there is sort of, you know, if pell grants are available to prisoners or if they're not, two different trajectories, but how does investing in post secondary education, incarcerated individuals are receiving what they need, and can they get the services they need or is really, you know, second chance pell grant the most important thing we can -- we can do as citizens and policymakers? >> as was talked about earlier, we are currently in the midst of an experimental site initiative, those generally last three to four years in du

, drug experimentation, not mowing the lawn, and the dynasty, twitter, facebook, these are america's children and if you can dismiss them you dismiss the future. >> host: let's talk about the gang affiliation because it's actually a convenient term that allows adults to codify punishments. so for example in san jose california they have these things called gang enhancements so if you're charged with a crime somehow related they are automatic enhancements which is a very ironic term because it just means additional punishme punishment. so maybe that comes with six months of probation fo probatioe minute they are able to tag onto the related activity becomes a minimum of two or three years into the judge has no ability to listen to sentence because it has been legislated. what did you find in terms of the abyss between the legal system and the way that it's utilized to send out punishment? >> guest: you can do anything you want, you can say this person was wearing red and that may be about gangs. you don't know. and it's not like a pretend things are. they're watching to see how much r

and they may have come from those families but we all have a lot of experimental interested students. so i think that part of our orientation for students should involve alcohol training. i think you went through alcohol training, correct? >> yeah i had to go through an online course. and it was i think it was a couple hours and asking you about the effects. it was i think it was getting statistics about exactly how many people in the school are drinking and how they're dealing with it. but also just to educate you as well. and it's a high percentage of our students, let's face it. probably across america and across the world that do drink. and it is the reality of it. but its response -- it should be responsible. and that's what i try to stress. and when it's not especially when you go to the dorms, tony. would you encounter and how difficult is it to manage? well we understand that on a college campus people are gonna experiment. experiment with alcohol and we understand people are going to use alcohol. there's a fine line between use and abuse. and that's where police have to step

the lobotomy grew out of experimental primate research that was done on chimpanzees in the physiology laboratory at yale, overseen by a very prominent physiologist at the time, neurophysiologist named john faulted it was one of the more revered and its scientists of his day. not just in his field, but all fields. he was a very respected voice. peel away some of his colleagues performed in the 1930s, in the mid-1930s on chimpanzees. one of the experiments he performed was he would leave shared their frontal lobes, big chunks of their frontal lobes. and there were these two particular chimpanzees known as tacky and lucy. he gave a presentation in london in 1937. maybe 1936, but he gave a presentation on work he had been doing. what he had found this he would administer all sorts of tasks, experimental tasks to these chimpanzees before operating on them. he would record their result and then he would leash and their frontal lobes and we administer these tasks. what he discovered after the operation they weren't as good at completing the task as they had been before. but before the operat
