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
