Well ... Goodbye Dolly

Dolly the Sheep was euthanized Friday.

In addition to the already-identified arthritis, she apparently developed a progressive lung disease.

I suspect she'll get one of the most thorough necropsies ever.

The one and only news report I saw on this on tv yesterday said that this was almost certainly indicative of the flaws with cloning.

Pretty scientific statement, huh?
