The Ghola Experiments

1. Excerpt from the Curriculum of the Bene Gesserit

No outsider has ever seen a Tleilaxu female and survived to tell about it. Considering the Tleilaxu's tendency for genetic manipulation-see, for example, related memos on sligs, clones, and gholas - this simple observation raises a multitude of additional questions.

One of their most notorious creations is the ghola, a clone generated from the tissue of a deceased human and grown in one of their grotesque axolotl tanks. This allows grieving families to see their fallen loved ones once again - an expensive contrivance that makes the grim, gnomelike Tleilaxu extremely wealthy, although they will never be granted Great House status.
