I think the "coherent" in CEV can apply to different versions of your extrapolated self, so that the only things in your CEV are things that you pretty much always want under any "reasonable" extrapolation. E.g., getting rid of involuntary human death is almost definitely in my CEV, but it gets fuzzier as we go down the food chain (or rather the brain chain).
