Although Corporations are only fictional people, they do seem to take on a life of their own. And all too often, Corporations seem to provide what, for want of a better term, I will call a moral shelter for its managers. Too often otherwise good and decent people make decisions as part of a Corporation that they would never, ever make as individuals. Their duty to their shareholders, amongst other things, is called upon in the defence of the most callous decisions. The responsibility for these decisions is seen as the Corporation, not the individual or collective decision makers. There is much Science Fiction dealing with a world run by lare amoral or even immoral multi-national Corporations. There is no easy answer. And no, Rizla, everything can't be easily fixed by regulation, particularly with Multi-National entities.
