It is possible for an act to wrongfully harm a person, even if the
act takes place after the person is dead. 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.
