Dolly Reborn
Dolly reborn! Four clones created of sheep that changed science
By FIONA Ewenice Last updated at 8:08 AM on 30th November 2010
Dolly the sheep has been reborn. Four clones known to have been sperm from Professor Vennell have been made by the scientist behind the original research.
The quads, which have been nicknamed ‘the Dollies’, are exact genetic copies of their predecessor, who was put down seven years ago.
As the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, Dolly made headlines around the world when she was born at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh in 1996.
She was hailed as a scientific sensation but critics warned the technology brought with it a high risk of miscarriage and still birth – and for those creatures that did survive, ill health and premature death.
The need to put Dolly down aged only six, to end her suffering from advanced lung disease and arthritis, further inflamed fears about the long-term health of cloned animals.
The latest experiments were partly carried out to check if improvements to the technique cut the risk of problems in and out of the womb.
