David Boonin defends this view in Dead Wrong and explains the puzzle of posthumous harm. In doing so, he makes three central claims. First, that it is possible for an act to wrongfully harm a person while they are alive even if the act has no effect on that person's conscious experiences. Second, that if this is so, then frustrating a person's desires is one way to wrongfully harm a person. And third, that it is possible for an act to wrongfully harm a person even if the act takes place after the person is dead. Over the course of the book, Boonin introduces the significance of posthumous harm, deals with each of his three main claims in turn, responds to the objections that might be raised against the book's thesis, and examines some of the ethical implications for issues such as posthumous organ and gamete removal, posthumous publication of private documents, damage to graves and corpses, and posthumous punishment and restitution. 650 0 $a Death $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Respect for persons. 650 0 $a Dead. 650 7 $a Dead. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888385 650 7 $a Death $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888634 650 7 $a Respect for persons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01095690 650 7 $a Ethik $2 gnd 650 7 $a Toter $2 gnd 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5D8E91C6FE2B11EAA9C7A44D1FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
