>>> DOLLY THE CLONED SHEEP HAS ARTHRITIS
>>>Dolly, the world's first cloned mammal, has arthritis, one of her
creators said today. The news heightens fears that cloning causes
genetic defects. Ian Wilmut, of the Edinburgh-based Roslin Institute,
who led the team that cloned Dolly, said defects were possible and
called for more research: "The fact that Dolly has arthritis at this
comparatively young age suggests that there may be problems. We do
not know and it's very important that we look".
