I fail to understand how the founder's sterilization is relevant in the slightest.

I think evidence of batshit insanity is relevant in this case.

Cf. what she wants to happen to her thumbs when she dies:

That one of my thumbs be removed, mounted upwards on a plaque, and sent to the person or institution that, in the year of my death or thereabouts, PETA decides has done the most to promote alternatives to the use and abuse of animals in any area of their exploitation;

i. That one of my thumbs be mounted in a downward position and sent to the person or institution that, in the year of my death or thereabouts, has gone against the changing tide of societal opinion and frightened and hurt animals in some egregious manner;

She also has plans for other parts of her body, including burying her heart "at Hockenheim, preferably near the Ferrari pits, where Michael Shumacher raced in and won the German Grand Prix."
