You're right. I have to agree with you on that. And I may haven't been clear enough, about what my problem is with awarding personhood to corporations.

I think that you can't judge corporations the way you can judge humans. You have to apply a different "personhood" to a company, since corporations are not natural. They don't consist of what a human being consists, but of what human beings contributed to that consistence.

Yes, I think they are different. Personhood is a useful concept but – I guess I’ll have to agree with you – only to a point. I would argue that corporations should have rights, yet not necessarily always the same ones persons have. It’s quite obviously complicated :)

If only we had a descriptive word for corporations to help us distinguish them from persons...
