LIFE                
                                    
                                    
                                          
    A MULTITUDE  OF  DEFINITIONS    
       DOES   NOT   HELP.   WE        
      CAN     SAY     "LIFE     IS      
        WHAT   WE   ARE,    AND       
       WHAT  THINGS  LIKE  US       
       ARE",   BUT   THEN   WE        
     MUST    ALSO    DEFINE    WHAT     
     "THINGS  LIKE  US"  ACTUALLY     
       ENTAILS,  HOW  IT SHOULD     
       BE   MEASURED,   WHO   OR      
     WHAT    IS     THE    ARBITER,     
      AND  SO   INSTEAD   THERE       
          IS    THIS   INTERNATIONALLY 
 SANCTIONED     LIST                   
          OF CRITERIA           
                                          
 - LIFE MUST PRODUCE OR CONSUME MILK      
 - LIFE MUST HAVE A BEGINNING AND AN END  
 - LIFE CAN HAVE DREAMS AND CAN INTERACT  
 - LIFE CAN STEAL                         
 - LIFE CAN BE CURSED
