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
