The Mormon Transhumanist Association will be hosting the next in their series of monthly round table discussions on 21 June 2008.
This month's discussion will be focused on "Ensoulment: Stem Cells, Human Cloning, and the Beginning of Life", an article by Rick Jepson featured in a recent addition of Sunstone Magazine. The article can be downloaded for free here. Optionally, you may also purchase an mp3 of a Sunstone presentation of the same topic given by Rick Jepson here.
Joseph West, Director of the Mormon Transhumanist Association, will moderate the discussion. The event will be held in the conference hall of the Arnell-West building located at 3441 S 2200 W, Salt Lake City, Utah, just southeast of the E-Center. The discussion will begin at 7:00 PM Mountain Time. Light refreshments will be served.

Joey West is a founding member, director and secretary of the Mormon Transhumanist Association. He is a 30 year old, full-time parent and husband. He's married to his best friend and together they have two children, a five year old boy and a two year old girl. He recently finished an undergraduate degree in philosophy at the University of Utah and will begin graduate work in sociology in the fall at the University of Arizona. He's an active and faithful member of the LDS Church, although he often struggles to feel like he fits in, not because he's not Mormon enough for them, but because sometimes he wonders if they're Mormon enough for him.
