April 15, 2003 Dolly the sheep was stuffed and put on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
February 18, 2003 Dolly the cloned sheep was put out of her misery.
August 7, 2001Two hundred couples were selected by an Italian embryologist to take part in a human cloning project; the human clones will be made using a technique similar to that which produced Dolly the sheep.
July 17, 2001Another company, called Advance Cell Technology, was preparing to create human embryo clones, using a technique similar to that used to clone Dolly the sheep, in order to extract their stem cells.
May 22, 2001The leader of the research team that cloned Dolly the sheep warned against the premature cloning of farm animals for meat and milk production; cattle clones have suffered from severe defects such as diabetes, immune-system deficiencies, giant tongues, intestinal blockages, and squashed faces.
December 19, 2000 The Scottish scientists who made Dolly, the famous sheep clone, announced a plan to make genetically modified chickens that will lay eggs containing drugs.
