Jeffrey Epstein dreamed of improving humanity by using his sperm to impregnate scores of women at his New Mexico ranch — and also wanted his penis and head frozen after death so they could eventually be reanimated, according to a report Wednesday.

Two award-winning scientists and an adviser to large companies and wealthy individuals told the New York Times that the since-disgraced multimillionaire financier shared his plan for a baby-making factory in the desert on multiple occasions starting in the early 2000s.

Computer scientist and writer Jaron Lanier also told the Times that he once spoke to a scientist who related how Epstein’s goal was to have 20 women at a time impregnated at his 33,000-square-foot Zorro Ranch outside Santa Fe.

Lanier, who’s been dubbed the “godfather of virtual reality,” said he spoke to the scientist, who told him she worked at NASA, during a dinner party at Epstein’s Upper East Side townhouse.

Lanier said the scientist told him that Epstein was inspired by the Repository for Germinal Choice, a controversial sperm bank stocked by high-achieving white males – reportedly including as many as five Nobel Prize winners – that operated in California from 1979 to 1999.

Lanier told the Times he suspected that Epstein – a convicted pedophile who was busted July 6 on child sex trafficking charges and has pleaded not guilty – used his dinner parties to screen attractive women with impressive academic credentials as potential mothers for his children.

The Times report didn’t make clear whether Epstein planned to have sex with the women or rely on artificial insemination, but said there’s no evidence he made good on the ego-driven scheme.

Epstein, 66, was also fascinated with the unproven science of cryogenics, in which people’s bodies or body parts are frozen at very low temperatures so they can be brought back to life in the future, the Times said.

A source described as an adherent of “transhumanism” – the belief that human evolution can be furthered through science and technology – told the paper that Epstein described wanting to have his penis and head cryogenically preserved.

Epstein cultivated relationships with elite scientists – including the late theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking and the late Nobel Prize-winner Murray Gell-Mann, who discovered the quark – to pursue his interests in controlled breeding and other fringe theories, the Times said.

Those relationships continued even after Epstein struck a controversial 2008 plea bargain over allegations he had sexually abused scores of underage girls at his waterfront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, the Times said, and in 2011 an Epstein charity gave $20,000 to the Worldwide Transhumanist Association, now known as Humanity Plus.

The since-shuttered charity also donated $100,000 to pay the salary of Humanity Plus vice chairman Ben Goertzel, who told the Times in an email that “I have no desire to talk about Epstein right now.”

“The stuff I’m reading about him in the papers is pretty disturbing and goes way beyond what I thought his misdoings and kinks were. Yecch,” he added.

Epstein’s defense lawyers didn’t return requests for comment, the Times said.
