Post by: poorlulu on February 14, 2003, 05:41:00 pm: i found this news sadder.........BAA BYE TO DOLLY Dolly the sheep - the first mammal to be cloned - has died. Her death sparked renewed fears over cloning techniques. She was put down after a contracting a progressive lung disease aged six. Sheep can live until they are twelve.Dolly became the first cloned mammal when she was born on 5 July 1996. She was named after singer Dolly Parton and revealed to the public the following year.The sheep bred normally on two occasions with a Welsh mountain ram called David. She first gave birth to Bonnie in April 1998 and then to three more lambs in 1999. EthicsAlarm bells began ringing in January last year when she was diagnosed with a form of arthritis.Professor Ian Wilmut, who led the team that created Dolly, has said her arthritis showed their cloning techniques were "inefficient" and needed more work.Dolly could live to be 10, he said at the time.Expert on the ethics of human cloning, Dr Patrick Dixon, said the nature of Dolly's death would have a huge impact on possibility of producing a cloned human baby."The real issue is what Dolly died from, and whether it was linked to premature ageing," he said.FindingsDr Harry Griffin, from The Roslin Institute, the Scottish research centre which created her, said: "Sheep can live to 11 or 12 years of age and lung infections are common in older sheep, particularly those housed inside."A full post-mortem is being conducted and we will report any significant findings"
