Zusammenfassung

According to the Deprivation Account, a person’s death is bad for her if she would have lived a better life had she not died when she did in fact die. While the Deprivation Account rightly draws our attention to the fact that a person’s death can be overall bad for her in this way, there are other ways in which a person’s death can affect her adversely. In this chapter, I explore two of these other ways, both of which are related to the fact that we live our lives as agents. I argue that the prospect of death for individuals as agents sometimes puts limits on what enjoyable activities they may reasonably pursue. I also argue that when a person’s death frustrates her plans, it is to that extent absolutely bad for her: it provides a correct explanation for the presence of intrinsic badness in the person’s life. I conclude by showing how focusing on agential value can help us make sense of the judgment that the deaths of infants and adolescents can be similarly bad in a way that is relevant to policymaking.
