The Genius Sperm Bank was Ethically Questionable


American millionaire Robert Klark Graham created a Genius Sperm Bank in order to “breed-out” the “retrograde humans”.

Graham apparently missed his target time period and was sore about that ever since.

He was a millionaire who dreamed of saving humanity using the sperm of geniuses. But what became of Robert Klark Graham’s master plan?

In the late 1970s, in a underground bunker on his ranch near San Diego, American millionaire Robert Klark Graham set up the world’s most controversial sperm bank known as the Repository for Germinal Choice.

Already famous as the inventor of the shatterproof spectacle lens, 70-year-old Graham was set to turn his hand to a much more infamous career.

He believed that “retrograde humans” were breeding unchecked. He wanted to reverse this trend by bringing thousands of geniuses into the world, fathered by the most brilliant minds. Single-handedly he dreamed of saving humanity using the sperm of clever men.

A product of this dubious effort, Doron Blake, has wisdom that soared beyond the Genius Bank’s creator.

“I turned out very well, my IQ was off the charts and basically I was everything Robert Graham wanted,” he says.

“Throughout my life I’ve felt I’ve not had to work as hard for the level of achievement that I’ve reached as most of my peers did.

“I don’t usually broadcast the fact that I came from a sperm bank because I don’t think it’s that interesting. People find out when it comes up.”

But Doron is not convinced by Graham’s grand plan for creating more intelligent people.

“As far as I’m concerned it doesn’t matter how a child is made in terms of the genes and chromosomes of it, it’s how the child was raised and nurtured that really matters.”
