Dolly, the world's first cloned sheep, at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh where she was developed and created. Dolly was a female domestic sheep, and the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer. The photographs taken by Colin McPherson this day were the last before Dolly was euthanised on 14 February 2003 because she had a progressive lung disease and severe arthritis.
