Anson Guthrie's medical record is in the database that came from Sol to Alpha Centauri;
instructions are encoded for nanotech;
molecular assemblers, drawing solutions and gels from tanks, build DNA and RNA and fashion, then guide, the zygote;
download Guthrie's neurons are scanned;
Demeter Mother transmits their information into a programmable network within the new organism;
thus, there is a new young man with Guthrie's memories;
next is Demeter Daughter;
they marry and have children.

Kaor, Paul!
I admit I find this a serious strain on my ability as a reader to "suspend disbelief." I'm pretty sure this was one of the things I had difficult with when I first read HARVEST OF STARS more than 20 years ago. And this is meant as a COMMENDATION, not a criticism. Really GOOD science fictions should speculate boldly, intelligently, and in ways which engage the interest and attention of their readers.
