Ian Wilmut, el pionero de la clonación cuyo trabajo fue fundamental para la creación de la oveja Dolly en 1996, murió a los 79 años.
La Universidad de Edimburgo en Escocia informó que Wilmut falleció el domingo después de padecer Parkinson durante años.
Si bien algunos científicos consideraron la creación de Dolly como una revolución, a muchos les puso nerviosos y otros calificaron tales experimentos como poco éticos. La creación de Dolly impulsó a otros científicos a clonar animales, incluidos perros, gatos, caballos y toros. Dolly también generó preguntas sobre la posible clonación de humanos y especies extintas. En los últimos años, los científicos han propuesto recuperar el mamut lanudo mediante edición genética y clonación.
