Pensack, a former emergency room doctor who now is a psychiatrist, didnt hesitate when he learned he could have his daughter Miriams cells saved. He has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the muscle of the heart is abnormal without an apparent cause. Its genetic. If stem cell research advances to the state he thinks it will, people could have diseased heart tissue replaced with healthy tissue grown from their own cells.
