EDINBURGH, February 14, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult original, has been put down after being diagnosed with a progressive lung disease, just six months after she was found to have arthritis.
Dr. Harry Griffin at the Roslin Institute, where Dolly was created in 1996, said that a sheep's normal life-span is 11 or 12 years and that lung infections usually occur in older sheep. In 1999, Dolly's cells already began to look more like those of an older animal.
"Many attempts to clone animals have ended in failure," the Washington Post reports. "Deformed fetuses have died in the womb with oversized organs, while others were born dead. Still others died days after being born, some twice as large as they should have been."
