Procyon Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 What is a "Ghola"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usul Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 A human who has been reserected by the Tlilaxu. A Ghola has no memories before its death exept after Dune Messiah when they earn how to (they don't often though thanks to the God Emporer).

Caid Ivik Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Clone with same soul as model had. Like resurrected, just you don't need to be dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Clone with same soul as model had. Like resurrected, just you don't need to be dead.Ho, ho ,ho, close but no cigar. A ghola is most definatly NOT a clone. Clone's are banned in the duniverse, as evidenced in GEOD when discussing Hwi's origins, and Chapterhouse Dune, when discussing Teg.Once every couple months we end up with a clone vs ghola arguement.

Zopwx2 Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 then whats the difference between a clone and a ghola? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 One is a reanimation of an existing body, the other is the copying of the original body. A Ghola is the former, a Clone the latter. Simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zopwx2 Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 so it must be dead. and you don't need all of the body just a few cells. becuase the tlieaxu used their "tanks" to grow the rest of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 You must be dead to be reanimated, yes. Not so to be cloned. But the literature in the books is basically against cloning. So the Tleilaxu reanimate the corpse, wahtever techinique they use/describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 That was I saying! Like clone, but fully copied with same mind and soul. Mahdi, next time read more than first word ;) Ghola is a reborn person. Not reanimated, other bodies are usually "turned off" as in God Emperor it was with Duncan.
