Wikipedia's[2] article on Dolly states it without hedging: "Dolly's existence was announced to the public on 22 February 1997." She had been born on 5 July 1996, so the birth and the announcement are seven months apart and this pin takes the announcement, the day the result became public.The Roslin Institute reveals that a Finn-Dorset lamb born the previous July was cloned from an adult mammary-gland cell by somatic cell nuclear transfer - the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell.
