This thesis will concern whether the dead hold rights. On the one hand, it is intuitive that rights are reserved for the living. It seems odd that someone who has passed, and cannot be materially affected, can nonetheless hold rights. And human rights doctrines, for example, reinforce this by conferring rights only on the living. Yet, we often speak of duties owed to the dead, and feel we would wrong the dead were we to violate those duties. We regard deathbed promises and the wills of the deceased with paramount importance. I will argue that posthumous rights exist. This has the potential to drastically alter the way in which we deal with dead bodies-with the rituals, traditions, and liturgy regarding posthumous respect, and the death process itself.

本文将探讨死者是否享有权利。一方面，直觉上，权利是为活着的人保留的。似乎很奇怪，一个已经去世的人，不能受到实质性的影响，但仍然可以拥有权利。例如，人权理论通过只赋予活着的人权利来强化这一点。然而，我们经常谈到对死者的责任，并认为如果我们违反这些责任，我们将对死者造成伤害。我们认为临终承诺和死者的遗嘱是最重要的。我认为死后的权利是存在的。这有可能彻底改变我们处理尸体的方式--关于死后尊重的仪式、传统和礼拜仪式，以及死亡过程本身。
