Dolly the cloned sheep died this week at the ripe young age of six. The
cause was progressive lung disease. She had arthritis also.

Matilda died a week or so ago too. Found dead in the flock last
Sunday (9 Feb 03) IIRC. At the time they said the cause of death was
unknown. I haven't seen any subsequent diagnosis.

I think she was only about three, but had had lambs already.


Cheers, Phred.

I heard another, later news account. Dolly was actually put down because
of her condition. They said another sheep had the same thing as Dolly.
