    Dolly the sheep

Ian Wilmut, 7 July 1944 Warwickshire, England

Keith Campbell 1954 Birmingham,England

5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003

Roslin Institute near Edinburgh in Scotland.

This used the technique of somatic cell nuclear transfer, where the cell nucleus from an adult cell is transferred into an unfertilized oocyte that has had its nucleus removed. The hybrid cell is then stimulated to divide by an electric shock, and when it develops into a blastocyst it is implanted in a surrogate mother.

The outcomes from this sheep is that now there are may other cloned animals and it allowed other thing to be cloned. From this scientific discovery we now can clone any animal, and we have. We now have horses, sheep,bulls, and even dogs that have been cloned. It opened a new door for in the sciences world and there were movies made about cloned humans. It had a big effect on a lot of people.

This is a very significant discovery b/c I can save the world. I say it can save the world because you can now clone endangered species. One day they can even bring back dinosaurs and let them roam this planet. The only scary thing is that they can also clone humans, though its illegal I bet some scientist are working on it and the thought of fake people is super scary.
