Description

Explore a unique perspective on the metaphysics of death with Death, Posthumous Harm, and Bioethics. Part of the Routledge Annals of Bioethics series, this text provides an original approach to end-of-life and post-mortem issues. The author examines contemporary bioethics debates by defending the Epicurean view that death does not constitute a harm to the person who dies. This book investigates the neo-Epicurean thesis, which suggests that persons cannot be affected by events occurring after their deaths. By arguing that posthumous harms and benefits are impossible, the text challenges standard assumptions in the field. It extends these arguments to assert that the dead cannot be wronged, offering a rigorous philosophical framework for understanding death and its implications for bioethical practice. This work is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of metaphysics and medical ethics.
