Did Ian Wilmut's electrical shocking of a sheep egg count as a spark of life?

Wilmut cloned a sheep, the famous Dolly. He did it in the following steps: 1. Extracted a cell from the mammary gland of a dead adult sheep. 2. Removed the DNA from its cell. 3. Extracted a cell from the egg of a live sheep. 4. Removed the DNA from the cell from step 3. 5. Placed this DNA from step 4 into the empty cell from step 2. 6. Placed the modified egg into a petri dish, 7. Stimulated the egg to divide by an electric shock (no sperm involved) resulting in a number of embryos. 8. Implanted one of the embryos into a surrogate mother. 9. About 112 day later, Dolly was born. What are the theological consequences of this, and why have people of faith fell silent on this subject?
