Human Rights: Not Just For Humans (& Corporations) Anymore?

The courts have ruled that in the US, Corporations have the same rights as people But do our communities and natural ecosystems have any rights? How about our bodies, right down to our cells and genetic material? Do they have rights? And how can we defend them? On this edition, Thomas Linzey and Katherine Davies argue that in order to defend our bodies and our environment, they must be given rights under the law.
