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                         
 - LIFE CAN BE CURSED
