Zusammenfassung: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.
