I think you misunderstand what I was asking. Specifically the SF element in
Brave New World of genetic engineering which the whole world is based on. Today it is no longer science fiction, but possible and not just in theory. Granted, there hasn't been human clones so far as I know. That is not a technological barrier though, but a moral one.
Does that now mean that
Brave New World is no longer classifiable as Science Fiction if it was published today? (Or for the snobbery kind, doesn't have any more SF elements in it?)
