    Didn’t Dolly suffer from premature aging due to her telomeres? The article seems to imply that using stem cells somehow fixed this, but how?

      Dolly died due to a lung condition. Currently no one linked her death or aging to being a clone.

      Similar diseases were shown in other members of the flock, and it was most likely due to being kept indoors for research and security reasons.
