"Major Medical Advancements"

    In years before 1996, doctors were trying to find out how to colon animals, and other living things. They successfully coloned a sheep who they called "Dolly", in 1996. She was the first mammal ever cloned. She was cloned by Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and other people at the Roslin Institute. She was born on July 5, 1996. She lived until she was six years old. A sheep's life span is from about 10 to 20 years. It seems like Dolly died young but she really did have a long life. Some sheep die between 5 to 7 years into their life. Another major event that happened between 1990-1995 is the Oklahoma City Bombing. On April 19, 1995 several bombs were placed in different places in Oklahoma City. This bombing, people said, "was the greatest terrorism act until the September 11 attacks in 2001." This bombing took the lives of 168 people and injured at least 680. It damaged 324 buildings in a 6 block radius. It also burned 86 cars. All together the damage done during this terrorism attack cost about $652 million. In this time I can tell you that things were not well. Hospitals were trying to save hundreds of lives. People that had been burned and breathing in bad fumes needed help. After this time a lot of hospitals had learned more about burns, breathing, and how to treat them.
