      “Corporate personhood” should imply corporate imprisonment and corporate execution.

      Your business is directly, knowingly responsible for someone’s death? business license terminated, no ifs, ands or buts.

        Corporate personhood implies the opposite of what you want though. It means that the corporation can enter into contracts and be sued for breaches of them, but you want the officers of a corporation to be sued and held responsible directly.

        Your business is directly, knowingly responsible for someone’s death? business license terminated

        Even with corporate personhood, a business can’t know things, only its employees can. If an employee is directly and knowingly responsible for someone’s death, they should go to jail - but they already can be.

        But if you’re talking about the current example, who would be directly responsible for a death occurring because of a misidentified mushroom?
