Dolly's lambs
There is no followup on Dolly's lambs. One would expect their centromeres, health, and lifespan to be normal and similar to their female grandparent and male parent, but this is not confirmed. Scott McNay (talk) 11:53, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
Suggested section to be added
I suggest an Ethical Questions section (or sub-section under Legacy) providing an overview of pros and cons that have been raised in research, medicine, and socio-cultural fields. There is an ethics of cloning article on Wikipedia that could be linked for further discussion beyond questions specific to Dolly and her legacy. The mention of genetically modified human babies in this article I think should be linked to the Wikipedia article human genetic enhancement for more discussion of th topic (and ethics) beyond the tangential connection to Dolly here. 2A0D:6FC2:6250:F600:9515:E982:82DF:B3A7 (talk) 11:38, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
Cloners
"Dolly was cloned by Keith Campbell, Ian Wilmut and colleagues at the Roslin Institute,"
"Professor Ian Wilmut - the scientist widely credited for the research - that he did not create the animal after all. Speaking at an employment tribunal in Edinburgh, Prof Wilmut said he did not develop the technology or conduct the experiments, and played only a supervisory role." source: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2006/mar/11/genetics.highereducation
The people who did the actual cloning were Karen Walker (nee Mycock) and Bill Richie. Prof Keith Campbell was the person who supervised, and co-authored the paper on the cloning of Dolly. 87.254.75.148 (talk) 12:48, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
Very possible spam by Mojakabira
So, Mojakabira added the whole section "Dolly in popular culture", but the real reason for this section is to promote their website about cryptocurrency. Person with the username Mojakabira is also the owner/admin of usdolly dot rocks website. Proof: usdolly.rocks/index.php/author/mojakabira/
I'm removing crypto part. Margarita byca (talk) 21:49, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
Listed reference does not have a link to its source
Reference number 2 currently leads to a website called https://massmatch.org/ rather than a source. 2603:8000:6002:36A9:1C7E:E424:65A9:FC68 (talk) 00:14, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- The URL was usurped. I changed it to use its archive link. The DOI link and PMID link also work. Thanks, Dan Bloch (talk) 01:02, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
