Document Summary
Office hours on monday, april 10th at 16:30. A bonus question (may be two) worth 5% of final! Spital: the dead have no interests and therefore cannot be harmed. Negative right not be harmed by the defeat of one"s interest in dying with one"s body intact. Overrides a positive right of the sick to one"s organs. Agrees that the dead have no interests. But before dying an individual may express a conviction in the importance of bodily integrity and wish that his body remain intact after death. The subject of the surviving interest is the living individual before death: the question really is, what do we do with everything when someone dies and leaves a will? . Harvesting a person"s organs makes it true that one"s interests while alive were not respected. This idea creates obligations for people to respect the surviving interests of the dead.
