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
