History of animal testing
In 1996 Dolly the sheep was born, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell. The process by which Dolly the sheep was cloned utilized a process known as nuclear transfer applied by lead scientist Ian Wilmut. Although other scientists were not immediately able to replicate the experiment, Wilmut argued that the experiment was indeed repeatable, given a timeframe of over a year.
Dolly Dalrymple
Dolly Dalrymple was born at the Furneaux Islands, between Victoria and Tasmania, to Woretemoeteyenner (also known as Pung or Margaret), daughter of the chief Mannarlargenna, from Van Diemen's Land, and George Briggs from Bedfordshire, England. Her mother was kidnapped and held as a sex slave by her father, who then sold her. Dolly Dalrymple became the foster child of the surgeon Jacob Mountgarrett (1773–1828), of Port Dalrymple, who had her baptised with the surname Dalrymple and educated her in Western domestic chores.
