The corporate form isolates the individual from responsibility for his personal actions. He can exercise authority without accepting responsibility. The Conservative position should be against the corporate form.

I believe this is not the case. Personal responsibility is not a Conservative value.

Killing a baby you created and are responsible for is the opposite of personal responsibility.

The corporate form is a an abrogation of personal responsibility but the economic benefits are so immense that it is best to make an exception in that case. 111
