    Except “executed” doesn’t mean the same for corporations. They can be broken up and sold off, which is as close as the metaphor can stretch, but they aren’t people because they have no individual sentience.

    People who support the death penalty say it’s a deterrent from the worst criminal behavior. But in this metaphor, the corporation’s decisions are made by the amoral cancer cells in the brain.
