Scientist
Notes: Sir Ian Wilmut, renowned for leading the scientific team behind the creation of Dolly the sheep, the world's first cloned mammal from an adult cell, has died at the age of 79.
Dolly was the first animal cloned from a cultured mammary cell, combining cells from two different sheep. This achievement sparked public debate on the ethics of cloning and its potential implications for humans. Prof Wilmut's research continued in the field of stem cells and regenerative medicine, and he was knighted in 2008 for his contributions to science.
