Corporations have no soul to save, and no body to incarcerate. -Unknown
In the spring of 2011, as the Fukushima nuclear disaster unfolds and the 2010 cleanup of the largest off-shore oil spill in history continues in the Gulf of Mexico-Hannah Cassidy, an eighty-five-year-old retired librarian living with Stage IV breast cancer, knowing her death is imminent, formulates a paradigm-shifting plan to tackle out-of-control government corruption and the lack of accountability of corporate recklessness toward public health. Drawing inspiration from a man in a small western Montana town, her greatest challenge is time.
Exit Stage IV is a fictional story inspired by real-life industrial public health hazards and corruption. It allows legal fiction (corporations) to kill with impunity through their superhuman status of corporate personhood.
The names of the products, executives, and corporations have been changed to protect the guilty.
Corporations have no consciences, no beliefs, no feelings, no thoughts, no desires. Corporations help structure and facilitate the activities of human beings, to be sure, and their personhood often serves as a useful legal fiction. But they are not themselves members of We the People by whom and for whom our Constitution was established. -Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, January 2010
