Society may eventually find it useful to create a category of limited artificial legal personality without deciding that the entities enjoying it possess subjective experience. [...] Corporations already demonstrate that legal persons can enjoy only those rights appropriate to their juridical character. An artificial person might therefore be permitted to contract, hold specified assets, maintain insurance, bring legal proceedings and be sued.
