Axlotl Tank is a concept from the Dune series.
The scientists involved would do well to remember another concept from Dune:
Butlerian Jihad.
If it happens I’d rather it work out along the lines of Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan saga. Her cultures remained family centric and the biological extremes that her “uterine replicator” technology enabled remained marginalized. Of course her writings offer zero real proof things would evolve that way she does offer reasonable speculation from a variety of angles.
