Should corporations have human rights? A human can get imprisoned for committing a crime. A corporation cannot. It seems only fair they don't get human rights.



You know that corporations are comprised of human beings, right? By forcing a corporation to do something, you are forcing human beings to do something.


What happens when you incarcerate a CEO? HR hires another, PR makes some noises to press as how former CEO didn't represent corporate values, lobbyists control the damage with legislators and business continues as usual.


That seems to be a complaint about corporations themselves, as in the legal entities granted immunities by their government. I'm not about to defend them in any fashion.
