I think you should note that "protect people" is in the sense that instead of suing CEO & board members you're suing the company. So it doesn't affect them personally.
- bmelton 11y agoWhat I meant, specifically, was that "protect people" is in the sense that if corporations did not have personhood, then we could not sue them. Large hospital accidentally chops off both your legs? Too bad, suckah. Can't sue. Yes, it also protects the employees and board members of said company from personal responsibility sometimes, and that is indeed a feature of personhood, but it also protects the consumers of a corporation's products, whether we realize it or not.
