Dolly Sheep Case Study

1.Dolly sheep was produced as part of research into producing proteins in the milk of farm animals. Researchers have managed to transfer human genes that produce useful protein, lysosome into cows and sheep that may eventually help prevent cow infections and infant diseases. Inserting human genes into animals is a laborious and complicated process; cloning allows researchers to only do this once and clone the transgenic animal to create a new breeding stock. The original purpose of Dolly Sheep Project was to enable the researchers to make copies of animals with the potential benefits for the fields of medicine and agriculture. But it also created a public controversy because of the assumption that mammal clones would lead to human clones.
