December 8, 2005, Space Coast, Florida --  The Terasem Movement
announced today that it will sponsor a toll-free conference call dial-in
line for public participation in the 1st Colloquium on the Law of
Transhuman Persons, to be held December 10, 2005.

The pioneering meeting of legal and artificial intelligence experts is
being held in Space Coast, Florida in honor of International Human
Rights Day.

"We encourage interested people to call in to listen or ask questions,"
said Bina Aspen, Project Director.  "All of the expert presentations
will be audiocast over the conference call line, and after each one, we
will open the phone lines for questions."

The Terasem Movement defines "transhumans" as conscious entities who
have or who aspire to have human rights, regardless of being of flesh,
electronics or a bioelectronic combination.  The legal status of
transhumans is believed to be an impending fundamental issue for
society.
