It was Dolly the sheep in London England, lead by Ian Wilmut and the world's first mammal cloned from an adult and want to create cloned human embryos for stem cell research, one of the scientists said Wednesday. A South Korean-led team reported in February the world's first successful cloning of a human embryo and the culling of stem cells from it. Britain legalized therapeutic cloning in 2001, becoming the first country in the world to do so. The move allowed scientists to create cloned embryos only for purposes of extracting stem cells for medical research. The extraction, which is done when the embryo is a few days old, means the clones cannot develop into babies. The embryos are only allowed to be developed until they are 14 days old. But scientists wishing to perform therapeutic cloning in Britain also need a license from the government's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, which has not yet granted any for the procedure. The HFEA says it looks "very carefully at the scientific, ethical and medical issues before granting any license for research on human embryos." The body wasn't immediately able to say whether it had rejected any therapeutic cloning license applications in the past. Cloning could be a great thing to help with many diseases, but, there are always the greedy, the powerful that would want to take it one more step into a very dangerous zone. What if you could clone Hitler, Bin Laden, etc.? Parents who's children pass on could be cloned and it's basically playing God. Believe in God or not, but cloning is a new field and genetic problems could well occur. This is a tough decision for just not scientists (they are more intriqued and excited over the prospects) but society will have to live with ups and down and, the guilt of it because there is always a downside to most things such as this.
Dolly the sheep was the first animal to be cloned. She was cloned by Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and colleagues at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland.

No. Dolly was the first cloned sheep, not cow.
Chromosones
The second animal to be cloned after Dolly the sheep was a cow in Japan. In 1998 the twin calves were born cloned from a donor cow. The Japanese scientist were looking into cloning to improve their cattle stains.
This is a false statement. Dolly was the name of the first animal cloned, however, she was a domestic sheep and not a cow. She was cloned on July 5 1996.
The chromosome makeup of Dolly is identical to that of sheep A
The first cloned placental mammal was Dolly the Sheep. She was named after the ample chested singer dolly parton because the DNA for her egg was taken from a mammary cell of the cloned animal.
it was said that dolly the sheep was cloned in a farm
Dolly the sheep (1996-2003), in Roslin Institute, Edinburgh, Scotland
Dolly and the sheep from which she was cloned have identical genes.
Dolly was cloned in 1996 and was the first cloned mammal. Dolly died in 2003 at the age of six.
Dolly the sheep was the first animal to be successfully cloned, and was born at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. Harry Griffin is the head of the Institute and worked with Dolly the sheep until her death in 2003.
Dolly the sheep needed a surrogate mother because she was cloned from an adult sheep. Her biological mother would not recognize Dolly as her own.
No. Dolly was the first cloned sheep, not cow.
Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and others at the Roslin Institute in Scotland.
dolly.......
Dolly was a sheep that was cloned.
As Dolly the cloned sheep had a reduced lifespan the answer is NO
