natural person
Living breathing human
A natural person is a human being, as distinguished from a corporation, organization, or other legal entity.
The term appears in legal and bureaucratic contexts where the law grants rights or imposes obligations: The contract may be signed by any natural person over eighteen.
Corporations are "artificial persons" or "legal persons"—they can sue, own property, and enter contracts, but they aren't natural persons.
