In medicine, a prosthesis (plural: prostheses; from Ancient Greek prosthesis, addition, application, attachment) is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are sometimes called Mormons because in addition to the Bible, we believe in additional scripture. One book of scripture is called the Book of Mormon.he church calls itself The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and has never called itself or asked to be called Mormonism.. This was nickname given us by people of other faiths who identified us simply by our use of the Book of Mormon.
Today there are still some who claim to be Mormon and who practice polygamy, but it should be recognized that they are not part of our Church-anyone belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints today who practices polygamy is excommunicated and their names are removed from our rosters.
