Breakthroughs flowing from the cloning of Dolly the sheep may eventually cure paraplegia and serious diseases like malaria and Parkinson's disease, scientists said yesterday. Cloning technologies could also help save the lives of thousands of people awaiting organ transplantation, Professor Ian Wilmut Dolly's creator, said in Melbourne yesterday. Professor Wilmut, the Scottish scientist who led the team that created Dolly, is in Melbourne this week to attend a scientific meeting held by Monash University that will discuss cloning.
