Nonperson
A nonperson is a citizen or a member of a group who lacks, loses, or is forcibly denied social or legal status, especially basic human rights, or who effectively ceases to have a record of their existence within a society (''damnatio memoriae''), from a point of view of traceability, documentation, or existence. The term also refers to people whose death is unverifiable. Legal status In the case of undocumented immigrants and at times foreign nationals in the United States who have entered the country legally, there are comparisons made to non-personhood due to their lack of agency and differential treatment under the law.

Who a person is and what every person is entitled to depends on context and social norms. For example, wards that are under the authority of a leg ...
