Natural Person

For example, such legal provisions as Amendment XIX to the US Constitution , which guarantees a woman's right to vote, apply to natural persons only. In many cases fundamental Human Rights are implicitly granted only to natural persons; for example a corporation cannot hold public office, but it can file a Lawsuit .

Although Science Fiction has long fantasized about the possibility of sentient Robot s (e.g. Android s) living among humans, no court to date has dealt with the question of whether such a being would be considered a "natural" person. Hypothetically, if androids or other forms of artificial life gain legal recognition as people, it could be argued that use of the word "natural" is a form of Discrimination .
