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.

What prevents scientists from cloning humans despite the fact that other mammals such as sheep have been cloned?
there are many ethical problems involved in cloning humans
What is the process of cloning a sheep?
The process of cloning a sheep, famously exemplified by Dolly the sheep, involves somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). First, a somatic cell is taken from the sheep to be cloned, and its nucleus, which contains the genetic material, is extracted. This nucleus is then inserted into an enucleated egg cell (an egg cell with its nucleus removed). The egg cell, now containing the donor's genetic material, is stimulated to divide and develop into an embryo, which is then implanted into a surrogate mother to carry the cloned sheep to term.
Where did the cloning of dolly the sheep happen?
The cloning of Dolly the sheep took place at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland. The groundbreaking procedure, which involved somatic cell nuclear transfer, was completed in 1996. Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, marking a significant milestone in genetic research and biotechnology.
In 1977 a sheep called Dolly was produced by cloning. Genetically this sheep had what?
Dolly was identical in every way to her clone
Scientists have cloned sheep but have not yet cloned a humanthe best explanation for this situation is?
Cloning humans raises ethical concerns around autonomy, identity, and exploitation that do not apply to cloning animals. There are also safety and efficiency concerns related to human cloning that have not been fully addressed. Additionally, international regulations and societal consensus on human cloning are not well-established.

What are main steps in cloning a sheep?
There are quite a few main steps in cloning a sheep. The first main step is to collect a sample to clone.
Did Ian Wilmut call cloning cloning?
No, Ian Wilmut did not call cloning "cloning." He is known for his work in cloning Dolly the sheep, the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell, but the term "cloning" was used to describe the process before his work.
Is there such thing as cloning?
Animal cloning started about 10 years ago, with Dolly the Sheep.
