Dolly

According to Wikipedia: "Dolly (July 5, 1996 - February 14, 2003), a ewe, was the first mammal to be successfully cloned from an adult somatic cell. She was cloned at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland, and lived there until her death at age six...". I find it ironic, divinely so, that the animal chosen for the first cloning is also so closely identified with sacrifice. I weep for Dolly the digital sheep and I weep for us...
