Embryo Scoring, Epstein's Money, and the 143-Year Ideology Now Sold in Fertility Clinics

I traced the intellectual lineage of polygenic embryo scoring, a service now sold at over 100 US fertility clinics, from Francis Galton's 1883 eugenics through Nick Bostrom's 2014 Oxford paper, Jeffrey Epstein's $120,000 donation to Bostrom's organization, and the 23andMe bankruptcy that sent 15 million Americans' genetic data through liquidation court. The framework behind the score on that fertility clinic spreadsheet has five names in 143 years. The core belief never moved.
