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 CAN STEAL
