爱泼斯坦曾与比特币开发者、生物黑客和超人类主义者布莱恩·毕晓普合作，计划在五年内实现“人类‘设计婴儿’的首次活产以及人类克隆”，并在乌克兰进行初步实验：

“听起来只要保持绝对匿名，你就可以成为首位投资者。我一直设想婴儿相关事务会有匿名要求——我们不能公开这些婴儿的身份、他们的父母或资助者，否则这会让孩子在媒体上被打上（本质上，而且很悲哀）终生怪胎的烙印。所以我一直认为，对于这类产品，投资者需要绝对匿名。因此，财务结构的设计必须考虑到这些细节。”

“这将使我们摆脱自筹资金的‘车库生物学’阶段，实现人类设计婴儿的首次活产，甚至可能实现人类克隆，就在5年内。一旦我们迎来首次诞生，一切都将改变，世界将再也不复从前，更不用说人类的未来了。”

Epstein was collaborating with Bitcoin developer biohacker and transhumanist Bryan Bishop to create 'the first live birth of a human “designer baby” and human cloning within five years, and was conducting initial experiments in UKRAINE:

“Sounds like you could be the first investor as long as absolute anonymity is kept. I have always envisioned there would be anonymity requirements about babies-- 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. So the financial structure needs to be designed with these details in mind.”

“This gets us out of our self-funded "garage biology" phase to the first live birth of a human designer baby, and possibly a human clone, within 5 years. Once we reach the first birth, everything changes and the world will never be the same again, much less the future of the human species”
