May I rephrase your statement slightly?

Humans have no nucleus, no mitochondria, no golgi apparatus. They cannot transcribe RNA or respirate or activate neurons. Every action undertaken by a human was performed by a cell (or an agglomeration of cells) within it.

Human "action" is just the emergent properties of cells. Humans can do nothing without cells.

Humans have mass, corporations do not.

There is a fundamental difference in the concept of an entity that exists as a whole, and a legal construct that is purely an economic allocation abstraction.

Nations aren't real either.

Cells have mass, humans do not.

There is a fundamental difference between the basic building blocks of life and a convenient term for an ambulatory hallucinating collection of them.

This can go on. Do you not see the flaw in your argument?
