Dolly was 6 years old when she was born.

1. I think basic cloning

takes DNA from an adult, and DNA has a wind down mechanism to trigger aging. So it was born at that older age. On a side note, it would seem that would be a fairly simple spot to target to stop the effects of aging :shrug:

At least thats what you would think.

It does look like they could remedy that aging thing beforehand though.

2. I'm glad not to be Dolly's mom.

That would be a long time to be pregnant.
