Lived for 6 yrs and died of lung disease, was also riddled with arthritis. Average life expectancy of a sheep is 10 to 12 years. (just saying)

Marshall, you are so right. The scientists found the DNA they had used was dodgy (mainly old, thus DNA strands were falling apart) which meant she was going to be born with Gene's of older sheep. poor thing was doomed from the start

she was named after Dolly Parton because the cell they use for the cloning was taken from the mammary gland of the donor sheep

Humans (not necessarily just god-like beings) has been messing with nature since they figured out how to make stone tools and fire. Do you have a fancy bread of dog or cat? Have you ever heard of corn/maize? How many apple varieties do we have now? I wish we would learn how to make our governments actually work for the people and the planet next!!

CLONING AN ANIMAL OR PERSON IS MORALLY REPRHENSIBLE WHEN ARE SCIENTISTS GOING TO STOP EXPERIMENTING ON ANIMALS. THEY HAVE NO CHOICE.
