 DJHeaf web site articles: The cloning of Dolly the sheep
As an aside, it should be noted that the recourse that had to be made to mother nature's ways by incubating the embryo in an oviduct is mainly because what is known of the conditions necessary for sheep embryo culture lags far behind that of human or mouse.
During March it was announced from a fertility clinic in Belgium that doctors had 'accidentally' triggered a natural twinning reaction by rubbing the surface of a fertilised human ovum with a glass rod.
Confronted by these figures, we can marvel at the patience of the biotechnologists who did the work yet at the same time be struck by how much death was needed to purchase a small amount of life.

 Dolly the Sheep and the GMO Agreement
This was to demonstrate Dolly can reproduce naturally and to check for any unexpected genetic changes in offspring.
My personal belief is we, as a human race, should proceed with caution, taking into consideration safety, health and environmental concerns.
Although GMOs today pertain mainly to food and seeds, the key issues are the environmental and health effects GMOs will cause while countries pursue the economic benefits, how GMOs will be traded and what risk consumers are willing to take.

The National Bioethics Advisory Commission: "While using animals to understand the biological processes that produced "Dolly" holds great promise for future medical advances, there is no current scientific justification for attempting to produce a human child at this time with this technique."

 Dolly the sheep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The technique that was made famous by her birth is somatic cell nuclear transfer, in which a cell is placed in a de-nucleated ovum, the two cells fuse and then develop into an embryo.
The goal of the research was the reliable reproduction of animals genetically modified to produce therapeutic proteins in their milk.
The arthritis further fueled worry among some that this form of cloning may not be appropriate for mammals, and there is now a consensus both in- and outside scientific community that at this point the risk of unforeseen effects of cloning on the clone makes experiments in human reproductive cloning premature and unethical.
