    Key Terms

    Deprivation harm(as the specific type of harm the statement describes)
    A type of harm that happens when you lose out on something good you could have experienced, even if nothing actively bad happens to you—like missing a chance to say goodbye to someone.
    Epicurus(the originator of Epicurean atomism)
    An ancient Greek philosopher (341-270 BCE) who argued that the universe is made of atoms moving through empty space, and that this physical process alone could explain everything we observe without needing a god or designer.
    Experiential(as describing whether a harm can be felt or experienced)
    Related to things you actually feel, sense, or live through—as opposed to things that happen in theory or don't affect your actual experience.
