Description

Death, Posthumous Harm, and Bioethics presents a distinctive philosophical examination of death's metaphysics and its implications for contemporary bioethical debates surrounding end-of-life care and post-mortem concerns. The work defends the Epicurean view that death itself does not constitute harm to the deceased individual, alongside the neo-Epicurean thesis that persons cannot be affected by events occurring after their deaths, rendering posthumous harms and benefits philosophically impossible. Taylor extends this argument to assert that the dead cannot be wronged, offering a rigorous defence of related philosophical positions. This volume provides essential reading for bioethicists, medical practitioners, philosophers, and healthcare professionals engaged in critical discussions about death, mortality, and the ethical treatment of the deceased.
