Actress Mena Suvari, Medical Ethics Group Offer Brown University $25,000 to Stop Killing Animals

Actress and Newport native Mena Suvari is partnering with a national medical ethics group to offer Brown University a helping hand. In a letter sent June 18 to school leaders, Suvari, of American Beauty and American Pie fame, said that the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine would provide Brown with a $25,000 grant to replace live pigs in its emergency medicine training program with “devices that simulate human anatomy.” The practice, part of a joint exercise with Rhode Island Hospital, has come under scrutiny for years and has been the target of numerous bills in the General Assembly.
