I’ve just been reading through a form about becoming a charity trustee. A long and dull process.
I’m a tad confused by one of the points though:
8.1 A Trustee must be a natural person aged 18 years or older.
What unnatural people are they referring to, d’you reckon? I’ve always found identical twins a bit… y’know… spooky… myself. It’s basically cloning, isn’t it. Never seemed quite natural. 
Any other suggestions? 
Not a corporation, for instance.
Not an android, not a clone, nothing supernatural, or maybe just one of those people who live in a tent and only eat raw vegetables.
Free range. No artificial preservatives.
You have to know either Aretha Franklin or Carole King.
A person born of another ‘natural’ person.
It can continue as far back as you wish it to.
But only if you’re a woman.
Does this guyqualify?
OK. Rod Stewart even.
Only available to Robert Redford.
They possibly did mean this, but this is the UK- so far as I know, we don’t ‘do’ corporate personhood here…
Sure we do. Corporations can enter into contracts, be sued and charged with manslaughter.
Apparently they can’t be a trustee of a charity, though.
Not sure where you get an idea like that. Britain practically invented the concept.
Here’s an article discussing how a corporation can be on the board of directors of another corporation in the UK (my apologies if you’re not a Guardian reader):
Fair enough- I’ve only heard the term used describing US policies, though yep, it looks like we have the same concept, if they don’t tend to complain about it using quite the same language.
Ignorance fought. 
I still prefer the more… interesting interpretations though
That’s because most people talking about don’t have a clue as to what it actually is how it actually works. Even on this MB.
