“…According to him, this IE differs from classical, normative, ethical frameworks, since it 'is a nonstandard (because patient-oriented), ontocentric, and e-nvironmental macroethics' (Floridi, 2013: 97, our translation). We will examine these characteristics, but for a more detailed explanation, see Bruneault and Sabourin Laflamme (2022). Unlike classical ethical frameworks that grant moral value based on: (1) an evaluation of the moral agent (as in virtue ethics) or (2) a moral evaluation of the action taken (as in consequentialist and intentionalist ethics), Floridi (2013) insists on the idea that the IE he proposes is a patientoriented ethics.…”

“…It gives value to all informational things based on the degree of informational arrangement they represent. Floridi refers to the most abstract perspective of the universe as the informational Level of Abstraction (LoAi), and believes that it allows all entities to be characterised in informational terms (for a more detailed explanation, see Bruneault and Sabourin Laflamme, 2022). It is impossible, within the span of this work, to completely explain the rationale that drives Floridi to this belief.…”

There are increasing numbers of products and services offered by the Digital Afterlife Industry that raise complicated questions about human dignity and the digital component of death. In most societies, we have refined moral and legal norms for how to treat someone's remains showing respect for the person to whom it belonged. However, such norms are mostly absent when the treatment concerns someone's digital remains. In particular, the approach to privacy issues has not been established. In this chapter, we explore how Information Ethics, as proposed by Luciano Floridi, can offer a meaningful framework to better understand the nature and importance of someone's 'informational body' . We will argue that Information Ethics as patient-oriented, ontocentric and e-nvironmental macro-ethics will lead to a radical rethinking of how to contribute to the realisation of human dignity in the digital afterlife. We briefly conclude with some thoughts on what this would mean for business ethics and law-making.
