Vance has (IMO) always been very good about not overstepping his
scientific (and `moral') bounds - he knows where to stop without
venturing into controversial territory. For example, his explanation
of the "cloning" in To Live Forever are only cursory - further detail
would have risked introducing questions of scientific feasibility.
