Princeton University molecular biologist Dr. Lee M. Silver,
noted author and expert on the scientific and social ramifications
of cloning, will be the featured speaker at the University
of South Carolina's Townsend Lectures March 2 and
|| March 3.
His March 2 address, intended for a general audience,
will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the School of Law auditorium.
He will speak to the scientific community at a special
address on the afternoon of March 3.
Silver wrote the 1997 book, Remaking Eden: Cloning
and Beyond in a Brave New World, in response to the world's
first successful sheep-cloning experiment and the questions
it spawned. In the book, he analyzes the scientific, ethical
and political issues surrounding the topic of human cloning.
