I have some sympathy to granting personhood to animals, but the rest of the article reminds me of the roman emperor who ordered to punish the sea by whip for drowning his ships.

It's also a fun coincidence that none of the entities which this article demands legal personhood for would be able to articulate its own needs or interests directly - all of them would be represented in courts or parliaments by humans. That would seem like a recipe for conflicts of interest and power accumulation.

That being said, if we really cannot see an object as anything else than either a person or a resource to be exploited, then I guess personhood is the best option.
