Best Answer

Dolly's creator was primarily interested in cloning as a better way to make drugs. Ian Wilmut's sponsor, PPL Therapeutics Ltd., had proven that sheep which were genetically engineered could make certain drugs in their milk. If the sheep could be cloned, they could build a herd of drug producing sheep.
