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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939529589024,"sku":"NEW0521187664","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/posthumous-interests-legal-and-ethical-perspectives-cambridge-law-medicine-and-ethics-series-number-7-0521187664","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
