Seven-month-old Dolly, the genetically cloned sheep, is surrounded by the media at the Roslin Institute Tuesday February 25 1997. It was revealed Tuesday that Dolly, the first animal to be genetically cloned from adult cells, got her name from Country singer Dolly Parton. Dr Ian Wilmut, who co-ordinated the work at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, told a news conference: "She was derived as you know from mammary cells and the people who were looking after her could not think of a more impressive set of mammary cells than those that belong to Dolly Parton." The scientists who produced Dolly said Tuesday that they welcomed President Clinton's call for a study of the implications of their discovery for humans. (KEYSTONE/AP/Newsflash)
