It’s now been 10 years since the cloning of Dolly the Sheep at the Roslin Institute in Midlothian, Scotland, where she lived between 5th July 1996 to the 14th February 2003.

But the creator of Dolly the Sheep, Professor Ian Wilmut, has now said that he is “disappointed” that Britain did not develop cloning technology involving animals, as more could have been done to to ensure the UK benefited from the breakthrough.

As now places like Japan and America are benefiting from yet another technolgy that was created here but is not being used at all.
