Oh yes. The scientists will work out how to do this. But I reiterate, no abortions.

YR: Now I know that all of you believe that with rights come responsibilities. And since you are going to give corporations all these rights, are you going to impose responsibilities on them too? For instance, will it be possible to prosecute a corporation for murder?

CT: (With great enthusiasm) You bet it will! And if it's convicted, it will get the needle! We will buy a 3,000 acre field, build a huge gurney in the field, put the corporation on the gurney, and give it the needle!!! You bet!!

JR: May I offer you some amontillado?

YR: No. How about a lesser act like libel. Could a corporation be "liable for libel," heh, heh?

JR: You bet a corporation will be liable for libel.
