The New York Times reports that in Japan 2 calves were born that were clones
of adult cows. The Japanese researcher Dr. Mitsuo Kita used methods pioneered
by Dr. Ian Wilmut that produced Dolly, but he has not written a full
scientific report on his experiment yet because the calves were only born two
days ago on Sunday July 5 1998, but all the biologists the newspaper contacted
say Dr. Kita has an excellent reputation and the report is probably true.
If so these are the first clones made from an adult since Dolly, proving that
she wasn't a fluke and it can be done in species other than sheep.
