Mormon Transhumanist Association

This presentation, originally given in Second Life, is a supportive response to James Hughes’ document on “The Compatibility of Religious and Transhumanist Views of Metaphysics, Suffering, Virtue and Transcendence in an Enhanced Future”. In that document, James provides supporting evidence from a variety of religious traditions, particularly Buddhism, and classifies the evidence into categories of metaphysics, theodicy, eschatology and soteriology. In the eschatology category, James refers to a document, from the Mormon Transhumanist Association, which focuses on Transhumanist parallels with Mormon eschatology. That document does not consider Transhumanist parallels with Mormon metaphysics, theodicy or soteriology; however, that is not for any lack of similarities in these areas.
