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
