Epstein Was in Talks About Funding Designer Babies and Human Cloning Company

The predator was considering funding a project to develop designer babies and human clones. He was told: “Once we reach the first birth, everything changes and the world will never be the same again.”

When Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in July 2019, the internet was suddenly full of conspiracy theories.

But as we know now some of these claims weren't all conspiratorial, several were actual facts. For example, Epstein did indeed have close links throughout the global intelligence network and he did own a creepy ranch in New Mexico.

Over the years, there's been speculation about the predator, blackmail, billionaires, presidents, princes, secret meetings and hidden networks. Most of these claims can to a degree be supported by evidence.

But buried inside the millions of pages from the Epstein Files Transparency Act was a truth I wasn’t expecting.

Earlier this week, I found an email conversation Epstein had with a Bitcoin entrepreneur about designer babies and human cloning.

The emails I found were from 2018 and the sender was Bryan Bishop, a Bitcoin developer and software engineer, who was interested in human embryo genetic engineering.

He was sending Epstein a presentation outlining what Mr Bishop called “a designer baby and human cloning company.”

This July and August 2018 discussion wasn’t about whether this technology might exist one day, it was about how to fund it, how to structure it and securing the “absolute anonymity” of everyone involved.

“We can't publicly identify who these are or their parents or benefactors, it would brand the child as (essentially, and sadly) a freak for life in the media. So I had always assumed the investor would need absolute anonymity, for these kinds of products,” Mr Bishop said.

The bottom line of these emails (see below) was determining whether Epstein wanted to bankroll the project.

Epstein’s Reply

For me, there was one sentence which almost jumped off the page. It was the predator’s response: “I have no issue with investing the problem is only if i am seen to lead.”

These emails do document that the money manager was discussing the possibility of financing a venture involving human germline genetic engineering while wanting to remain out of public view.

Then It Gets Stranger

As the emails continue, Bishop discusses more anonymity—not just for investors, but for parents and even for any future children.

He argues that privacy would be essential because genetically engineered children could face stigma.

Bishop also suggests that the project could operate under the banner of his existing work, offering what he describes as “a sufficient level of deniability.”

Epstein’s response was: “i cant program but iam not bad at structuring :)”

Then There Was a Meeting

Epstein’s Calendar records show a scheduled meeting titled: Designer babies (Bryan Bishop).

The agenda reportedly included:

• finance;

• privacy;

• structure;

• project goals;

• timelines.

None of this proves the venture ever existed beyond the planning stage, but it does show that the conversations progressed beyond a single email.

Where this Went

For many years, stories have circulated that Epstein was fascinated by eugenics. As well as this:

• Scientists who met him described conversations about genetics, IQ, transhumanism and even his ambition to spread his own DNA.

• These emails show Epstein discussing a concrete proposal involving human embryo genetic engineering with someone actively trying to commercialise the technology.

• While there is no documentary evidence in the released files that Epstein funded the project, the predator was interested in the project.

One thing I know about him is that he always had a scheme or 10 in the fire.

Meanwhile, I also found an email (see below) from January 2019, where an irate Epstein said he had “no current children.”

I contacted Mr Bishop for comment but I have not as yet received a statement.
