Dolly ( 5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003 ), a Ewe , was the first Mammal to have been successfully Cloned from an adult Cell . She was cloned at the Roslin Institute in Scotland and lived there until her death when she was 6. Her birth was announced on 22 February 1997 . The sheep was originally code-named "6LL3". The name "Dolly" came from a suggestion by the stockmen who helped with her birth, in honour of , in which a cell is placed in a de-nucleated Ovum , the two cells fuse and then develop into an Embryo . When Dolly was cloned in 1996 from a cell taken from a six-year-old ewe, she became the centre of much controversy that still exists today. On 9 April 2003 her Stuffed Remains were placed at Edinburgh 's Royal Museum , part of the National Museums Of Scotland . DOLLY |
