Death, Posthumous Harm, and Bioethics offers a highly distinctive
and original approach to the metaphysics of death and applies this
approach to contemporary debates in bioethics that address
end-of-life and post-mortem issues. Taylor defends the
controversial Epicurean view that death is not a harm to the person
who dies and the neo-Epicurean thesis that persons cannot be
affected by events that occur after their deaths, and hence that
posthumous harms (and benefits) are impossible. He then extends
this argument by asserting that the dead cannot be wronged, finally
presenting a defence of revisionary views concerning posthumous
organ procurement.
