Epstein’s “Baby Ranch” and His Obsession with Eugenics Research

TLDR (Too Long / Didn’t Read Summary)

Jeffrey Epstein discussed a plan that reporting described as “seeding the human race with his DNA” by impregnating women at his New Mexico ranch, including an account that he imagined at least 20 women at a time. Harvard later reported it received $9.1 million in gifts from Epstein between 1998 and 2008, including a $6.5 million gift in 2003 that established the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, and that he visited the program’s offices more than 40 times from 2010 to 2018. MIT reported a review found 10 Epstein donations totaling $850,000 between 2002 and 2017 and examined multiple campus visits. Epstein’s reproductive pitch echoes a longer eugenics history: Kellogg’s 1914 Race Betterment Foundation promoting eugenics, the Eugenics Record Office at Cold Spring Harbor (1910 to 1939), Buck v. Bell (May 2, 1927), and Nazi forced sterilization under the July 14, 1933 law described by USHM

Jeffrey Epstein did not only seek proximity to famous scientists. He talked about a reproductive plan that reporting described in plain terms: he wanted to “seed the human race with his DNA” by impregnating women at his New Mexico ranch, including an account that he imagined “at least 20” women at a time.
