The "Axolotl Tanks" of the Theilaxu in Frank Herberts "Dune"
series. Actually this whole cloning debate resembles the book
series. The Theilaxu (masters of genetic engineering) were always
refered to as "The dirty Theilaxu" by everyone else, even as they
used their products and services.
The Theilaxu refered to their genetic knowledge as "The Language of
God."
At least they were lucky enough to have their own planet,
geographical distance seems essential.....
