No, an abstract entity such as a company is already given the status of a person, but it doesn’t mean it has the same extent of rights a human being is given in the same jurisdiction.



Corporations aren't natural people, my friend.

Wales, maybe.


Thank you for giving me some friendly response. :)

I understand the feeling here, definitely wales and corporations are not of the same ontological class.

What I was trying to point out however, was that just because a jurisdiction give an entity the status of person, it doesn't mean it give to it the same extend of rights.
