Dolly is a clone of a sheep. Many times before Dolly, Scientists experimented with unicellular organisms. They succeeded almost every time. Because of their success, they decided to attempt to clone a mammal; sheep. They were able to clone the yew with much success. Dolly is the name they gave the clone. She was the first mammal clone in the history of the earth. Dolly now has a kid and is apparently happy. Dolly was successfully made! One of the disappointing factors of cloning things is that it would be easier to spread diseases. This is because clones will share their DNA with the person they are cloned from and along with DNA comes immunity systems. If the person who was cloned gets a disease, it is more likely for the clone to get it than any other person.
