Daniel Sperling discusses the legal status of posthumous interests
and their possible defeat by actions performed following the death
of a person. The author first explores the following questions: Do
the dead have interests and/or rights, the defeat of which may
constitute harm? What does posthumous harm consist of and when does
it occur, if at all? This is followed by a more detailed analysis
of three categories of posthumous interests arising in the
medico-legal context: the proprietary interest in the body of the
deceased, the testamentary interest in determining the disposal of
one's body after death and the interest in post-mortem medical
confidentiality. Sperling concludes that if we acknowledge the
interest in one's symbolic existence and legally protect it, not
only do some interests survive a person's death but we should also
enjoy a peremptory legal power to shape in advance our symbolic
existence after death.
