Dolly the Sheep - Preserved.

Professor Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute pictured, with his old friend, "Dolly", the world s first cloned sheep, who died on February 14 this year, and has now been pickled and mounted on a straw-covered plinth and is on permanent display at Edinburgh s Royal Museum. * The birth of Dolly, on July 5, 1996, was heralded as a scientific landmark but triggered heated discussions about the ethics of cloning. She was named after country and western star Dolly Parton, because she was cloned from a ewe s mammary gland. 21/04/2004: Professor Wilmot told the BBC Radio 4's Today programme Wednesday April 21, 2004, that he is applying to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority for the UK's first licence to clone human embryos.
