The segment explores the science behind this groundbreaking development and its potential to transform lives.
Finally, Sharyn Alfonsi sits down with actress Jamie Lee Curtis for a wide-ranging conversation. Curtis discusses her career, from her early days as a scream queen to her recent Oscar-winning performance.
