what she had specifically was a lobar lung transplant, so instead of taking the whole lung from the adultthey took lobes of the lung as you see here, bottom lobes here and over here and that is more reasonably in terms of actually trying to size that for someone who is much smaller. as with any type of transplant still, you still run the risk of infection, the chance of rejection, and all of the health problems that can occur when you are on immune suppressing drugs. for the average lung recipient and this is always important stats to keep in mind, there's a 50/50 chance that the patient survives five years later after that transplant. for a child like sara, it's really hard to say, there's just very little experience with children her age. but part of a transplant certainly is offering hope. we're certainly all rooting for this little girl to do well. >>> the supreme court made a big call this week on myriad genetics, a company that patented the braca-1 and 2 genes. those are the genes that can determine your likelihood of developing breast or ovarian cancer. myriad created a test to ass

that is a very lobar every time. what they're using these programs for is what people convention recalled data mining. they are looking for unknown suspects. by finding hidden relationships among people. so you start with one contact, suppose it is a terrorist contact. you say who is in touch with that person into is in touch with all those people? it is an exponential growth in the number of people you are surveiling that way. idea,grees of separation which is that once you hit six degrees of separation from you and anyone else in the room, it encompasses the whole planet. >> this is such an old technique. they used to teach you how to do this using mail, envelops. of course you want to find the guys you do not know about. you want to say what is the network he is involved in? you have to look at people that are not known, not suspect that you could not get a warrant on. i think the administration is a little miffed because they feel like they went out of their way to do this in a constitutionally-safe matter but th

as you just heard from her mom there, this was what's known as an lobar transplant. this is because of a size issue. you take particular parts of the lung. that operation went smoothly. that's pretty typical in the terms of the length of these operations. it sounds like that one's straightforward. her recovery, she's going to have the breathing tube in. over the longer run, remember this is a girl who still has cystic fibrosis, just underwent this big operation, is now going to need medications to suppress her immune system so she doesn't reject her lungs in the future. so there's several phases to her recovery. >> is it true that she'll require another transplant in the future since adult lungs will not grow as she grows? >> the bigger concern here is more the concern about rejection. that is what might be necessitating a future transplant. sometimes even these lungs, even though it's just the lobe of the lung, they can expand to a certain extent. remember not too long ago we were talking about the new pope, and now he is living without a lobe of his lung. so it is

it's called, i think, a lobar transplant. it's a piece of the lung they take.it's not the full lung. >> i think my question -- i am no scientist on this thing but my question is, if you take a part of the lung will the lung still grow with her, or will the lung be like she will have one big one and one small lung? >> she got a pair of lungs. she had cysticfibrosis. >> wow. >> both of the children do. so you have to replace both. it doesn't actually do much good to do just one. growth, i don't know about. since 2006, i think they have done one of these procedures. they don't know as much as they do about a lot of other things. >> this is a really ground groundbreaking kind of moment here in medicine and treatment for young folks with conditions like cysticfibrosis i think. >> i think the larger question here, i know how -- like i said i was an er fan, everybody having a pager. i am pretty sure it is more high tech now during the show er no, you are not. i'm sorry. they probably don't know. they were bumped down and the rest of the world doesn't know. and that's

have to show the owners that the information that you want is relevant to and authorized to settle lobar. and what people call data mining they're looking for the unknown subject, so with the headed relationships to start with one contact so is the best finish of growth but remember this 6 degrees of separation it would encompass the whole planet. it is such an old technique is to classified. you to do this to use male or envelopes and of course, there is one person i you know, to say what is the network? and you have to look to people who are not known and could not get them and the administration is miffed because they went out of their way to do this in the constitutional safe manner. not public enough but a technique that goes back to the 19th century. [laughter] >> i am is agreement this month it is used a lot of the mistake that it was classified had to remain classified in did does raise the questions to when they wrote their story so the story was wiretaping is to ask the question why could the government have described this program? to this same kind of exposure and whether or n
