Abstract

Dolly the sheep, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell, died last week. Her caretakers at the Roslin Institute in Scotland euthanized the 6-year-old sheep on 14 February after diagnosing an incurable lung disease, pulmonary adenomatosis or Jaagsiekte. Her death seems unconnected to her unconventional origin, as the virus that causes the disease has infected both cloned and normal sheep at the institute.
