Khaberni - Recently unveiled documents reveal Jeffrey Epstein's involvement in supporting a controversial project to produce a genetically designed human child and potentially reach human cloning, through a secret collaboration with a researcher who describes himself as "the mad scientist."
The files, released by the U.S. Department of Justice, show email correspondence between Epstein and Bryan Bishop in 2018, during which Bishop was seeking funding for a project aimed at genetically enhancing and modifying human genes.
According to the messages, Epstein was willing to fund the project on the condition that his name was not publicly associated with it, writing: "I have no problem investing, but the issue is appearing as if I am leading the project."
Bishop explained in one of his messages that the project required annual funding amounting to about 1.7 million dollars for five years, plus an additional million dollars to equip the laboratory, bringing the total cost to nearly 9.5 million dollars.
He also referred to experiments on mice within a laboratory in Ukraine, involving surgical procedures and precise injections, as part of developing genetic modification techniques in preparation for experimenting on humans.
Epstein enthusiastically replied to one of these messages, saying: "I love the idea of implanting the embryo and waiting nine months. Perfect ending."
In the same context, Bishop, who identifies himself as an advocate of "post-humanity," sought to launch a "designer children" project based on permanently modifying the human germ line to transfer selected traits to future generations, such as increased physical strength, disease resistance, and longevity.
In its early stages, the project focused on modifying sperm-producing cells through gene therapy, before later moving towards techniques closer to cloning and direct embryo modification, which raised widespread ethical and scientific concerns.
Experts who reviewed the plan warned that these researches were conducted outside the established medical and regulatory frameworks.
The correspondence also revealed attempts to turn the project into a commercial venture, through collaborations with external clinics and the selling of genetically modified materials for commissions, and exploiting legal loopholes within and outside the United States.
The communication between Epstein and Bishop followed mediation by "Bitcoin" developer Jeremy Rubin, who described Bishop as "smart but eccentric."
Several meetings were held between the parties to discuss the project details and implementation mechanisms.
This development comes at a time when Epstein's name is being pursued by a long history of criminal cases, as the U.S. Virgin Islands Public Prosecution in 2020 filed a lawsuit accusing him of running a wide network for trafficking women and underage girls over more than two decades.
The authorities reported that Epstein transported his victims to private islands in the Caribbean, where they were subjected to sexual assault, noting that some of them were as young as 11 years old.
Epstein was first arrested in 2008 in Florida on charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution, pleaded guilty, and spent about 13 months in county jail.
Despite Bishop's denial of receiving any funding from Epstein, the correspondence indicates clear interest from the latter in the project, in line with previous statements reported by the "New York Times" about his desire to "spread his DNA within the human race."
The reports also showed his support for "post-humanity" ideas and donations to organizations promoting them, alongside shocking statements about his desire to freeze parts of his body after his death.
These documents shed light on a new aspect of Epstein's activities, revealing dangerous scientific and commercial ambitions, mixed with a criminal record filled with abuses and exploitation.
