The US has granted corporations the same basic rights as individuals.
However, corporations do not operate on the "value system" (morals and
ethics) that drive an individual's decision making. Corporations exist
solely to produce profit and generate wealth for their owners. Thus,
such decisions, while morally & ethically wrong, are sound from a
business standpoint as they are designed to maximize profit.
