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
