Abstract

This article responds to criticism by Don Marquis of my previous article, "Harming Someone after His Death." I argue that because the idea of surviving interests in not plausible, the harm-as-loss-theory is not on all fours with the harm-as-invasion-of-interests theory (especially when it comes to the harm of murder), and that the former is preferable.
