Editing Clone (section)

==Clones in Dune==
Clones come in two flavors in the Dune Universe. One is regular clones created from the genetic material of another person. The other is specific category called a Ghola (from the Arabic word for ghoul) created from genetic samples from taken from donors after they died. Both are often created by noble houses as emotional crutches in place of their lost loved ones or as replacement commanders and advisors. What makes gholas unique is that they subconsciously have a sense of deja Vu regarding their past donor’s lives in the form of senses, sounds, and smells that they can’t explain. the Tleilaxu, who creates them with Axotl Tanks (of which their [[daemonculaba|specifics]] are… grimdark to discuss) and copious amounts of psychoactive melange spice, theorized that genetic memories of the gholas and clones can be reawaken if given the right stimulation. It worked but involved massive psychological conditioning to prepare them for the extreme and psychological torture, forced existential paradoxes, or sexual imprinting (often without consent) to awaken them. Needless to say, it worked with clones or gholas recalled their lives up to the point of their genes being sampled or upon their deaths (assuming they don’t go insane in the process). It was used as a way to reincarnate heros (willing or not) after the first Empire of the Known Universe was replaced with the Atreides Enpire.
