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
