Could dolly the sheep from real life have killed macbeth, since she was cloned?
Yes, Dolly the Sheep from Real Life could kill Macbeth (though not in the way that you think)!
While yes, Dolly was made from completely cloned material, she still had a natural birth. You see, in order to create Dolly, what needed to happen was that they took an unfertilized egg from one ewe, some DNA from a second ewe, combined them, and then a third ewe carried her embryo to term and birthed her. As we have previously discussed, an esoteric conception of the embryo does not qualify someone for the Unconventional Birth Clause, so this sadly does not apply for Dolly. Don't worry, though; Dolly still applies for the Gender Clause and could definitely kill Macbeth! Thank you for your submission!

I live in Midlothian, Scotland which is the area just south of Edinburgh where they cloned Dolly the sheep back in 1996 and a lot of the smaller towns near the facility that did it are obsessed with her. I had to go to the community hospital today and I found this pair of ladies outside the main doors.
In case you didn't know, Dolly was named after the great patron saint of the internet, Dolly Parton.
Here are closer details of these ladies.

Happy birthday Dolly the Sheep!
This picture was taken today
Fun fact: When I was younger I’d get weirdly emotional about her when I visited

On July 5th 1996 Dolly the sheep was born, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell.
When scientists working at the Roslin Institute in Scotland produced Dolly, she was only lamb born from 277 attempts,from those rom 277 cell fusions, 29 early embryos developed and were implanted into 13 surrogate mothers. But only one pregnancy went to full term, and the 6.6 kg Finn Dorset lamb 6LLS, that’s Dolly to you and I, was born after 148 days, they never announced her birth for six months until February 22nd 1997. She lived a pampered existence at the Roslin Institute. She mated and produced normal offspring in the normal way, showing that such cloned animals can reproduce.
Dolly the sheep was produced at the Roslin Institute as part of research into producing medicines in the milk of farm animals. Researchers have managed to transfer human genes that produce useful proteins into sheep and cows, so that they can produce, for instance, the blood clotting agent factor IX to treat haemophilia or alpha-1-antitrypsin to treat cystic fibrosis and other lung conditions.
This was a major news story around the world, Dolly even appeared on the cover of Time magazine!
Sadly Dolly died in February 2003 at the ripe old age of six she had large cancerous tumours and was given a lethal dose of an anaesthetic. She lives on though conserved by taxidermists her remains were conserved by The National Museum of Scotland where she is now on display.

I call this build “Double D” - which I think is hilarious. It got a lot of laughs from the adults at our recent club show. My apologies to the real Dolly Parton, who is an absolute queen.

I shouldve been homeschooled. I shouldve raised myself, like some kind of mother-daughter clone. I couldve been like Dolly the sheep. I couldve been in a timeloop of my own upbringing. I feel like I couldve given birth to myself. I raised myself. I just wish I could have done it better.

In 1996, Dolly the sheep became a public icon of the possibilities of genetic engineering. The following year, Gattaca (1997) was released. This movie explores the advantages and consequences of public access to genetics technology. More specifically, the inevitable eugenics and the new stratification of society with its attending discrimination. The story is a celebration of humanity in spite of our attempts to perfect ourselves. An old favorite.

July 5th, 1996 was the day when Dolly was born. Dolly was not the name of a little girl, but rather a name given to a sheep. This day is considered an iconic event in medical science. However, there is a catch. While thousands of sheep are born every day, this sheep was not born through sexual reproduction. Rather, she was created through the process of cloning, which means making an identical copy of an individual by using a tiny cell.
After this event, it was discovered that cloning was possible, and that mammals could be cloned.
According to some conspiracy theories, scientists have already developed the method for human cloning, but only a few people who are in power know about it, and they are using this method for their own benefits. There are many conspiracy theories related to human cloning available on the internet.
but in this post you will get only facts
There are three types of cloning: gene cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning. Dolly, the sheep, was created through reproductive cloning. The process used to create Dolly was quite complicated, but it is important to pay attention to it.
First, a nucleus was taken from a somatic cell of a donor and transplanted into a host egg cell, which already had its genetic material removed, making it an enucleated egg. When the genetic material from the somatic cell was transferred into the host oocyte using a micropipette, an electric current was used to fuse the genetic material from the somatic cell with the egg. When the two cells fused, a new cell was created, which was then grown in a surrogate body, resulting in the creation of Dolly the sheep.
This method, known as reproductive cloning can theoretically be used for human cloning, but not practically. For example, it took scientists 277 attempts to create the first mammal clone. This means that a surrogate body had to carry the embryo 277 times. Currently, the success rate of mammal cloning is between 10% to 20%, which is better than the 0.4% success rate in 1996. However, this process is still inefficient.
Technically, it is not difficult to create a clone embryo, but when it comes to human cloning, there are many challenges that need to be considered. Even if scientists can overcome these challenges, there is still a bigger issue that is waiting for them.
The success rate for mammal cloning is between 10% to 20%, which means that there is an 80% to 90% chance that the experiment will fail. The experiment can hurt the baby, and the surrogates who carries the embryo can also be hurt. Additionally, sometimes cloned mammals expire before being implanted, there are miscarriages, and some cloned animals develop serious abnormalities.
While these risks and experiments can be carried out on animals, it becomes difficult when it comes to humans. The biggest reason why human cloning has not been attempted is that there is no need for it.
Human cloning can create a person who looks like another, similar to twins who look alike, but they may not necessarily have the same qualities. However, human organs can be cloned through the process of therapeutic cloning, which is the type of cloning that creates embryonic stem cells. This process is similar to reproductive cloning, but embryos are stored rather than implanted in a surrogate body.
In summary, while theoretically human cloning is possible, practically there are many challenges that need to be overcome. Furthermore, human cloning is not necessary as organs can be cloned through therapeutic cloning.

This is the scientific scandal that rocked an entire country. Part 1 of 2.

On February 22nd 1997 In Roslin, Midlothian, scientists announced that an adult sheep named Dolly has been successfully cloned.
When scientists working at the Roslin Institute in Scotland produced Dolly, she was the only lamb born from 277 attempts,from those 277 cell fusions, 29 early embryos developed and were implanted into 13 surrogate mothers. But only one pregnancy went to full term, and the 6.6 kg Finn Dorset lamb 6LLS, that’s Dolly to you and I, was born after 148 days. She was born on 5 July 1996 but they never announced her birth for six months.
Dolly lived a pampered existence at the Roslin Institute. She mated and produced normal offspring in the normal way, showing that such cloned animals can reproduce.

This was a major news story around the world, Dolly even appeared on the cover of Time magazine!
On February 14th 2003 Dolly was given a lethal dose of an anaesthetic she lives on though conserved by taxidermists her remains were conserved by The National Museum of Scotland where she is now on display as seen in the second pic.

Double D (A Dolly Duo!)
I liked the idea of Dolly the Sheep also being a clone of Dolly, so I gave her a little blonde hairdo to match.
