If corporations are people, then the insurance companies who deny coverage for life-saving procedures should be indicted for murder and receive capital punishment.
Actually, legally, corporations ARE people, thanks to a US Supreme Court decision of the late 19th century. Legally, in the US, property rights have greater legal protections than human rights.
