Princeton, N.J.--The Student Bioethics Forum of Princeton University is sponsoring a discussion among two faculty experts and students tonight, March 3, on "Dolly the Cloned Sheep." The discussion with be held at 9:30 p.m. in the Whig Hall Senate Chamber.

The faculty participants are Molecular Biology Professor Lee Silver, who was quoted extensively in the Feb. 24 New York Times article that announced the cloning, and Norman Fost, who is the visiting Decamp Professor of Bioethics at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

According to Bioethics Forum president Erica Seiguer, who will moderate, the event will focus on the meaning of this advance in scientific technology, ethical issues involved, and "Is this 'Brave New World' or just hype."
