Morag, a sheep cloned using the 'Dolly technique' at the Roslin Institute in Scotland, has died and been stuffed for display at an Edinburgh museum. Scientists cloned Morag and her twin sister Megan from sheep embryo cells grown in the laboratory, using the cell nuclear transfer technique later used to create Dolly.
The stuffed body of Morag, who died from an infection earlier this year, was unveiled at the Royal Museum in Edinburgh last week. The exhibit will remain in the musuem's entrance hall until early next year, as an example of 'one of recent history's most significant symbols of scientific and technological breakthrough'.
