In a recent ruling on campaign finance, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has defined "corporate personhood" i.e that corporations are people. Now a humane society is asking a lower court to rule that chimpanzees may be considered people and subject to the law of "habeas corpus" in Latin translates to "you have the body". This latter case involves a colony of chimps that were used for biomedical research and seem to be in limbo now. Am I my brother's keeper?
