What is life...?

What is life...? Does this seem like a strange question to you?

Well, let's think about it. If you had to explain to someone what "life" is,
what would you tell them?

C'mon Mike,

We are normally spilling pages of philo stuff here. I remember asking a similar question... "What is the meaning of life ?"

I got al sorts of answers from 42 to the 'turtle theory'.

All I can say is be warned for some very 'thoughtful' answers !

From Wikipedia :

"Life is the characteristic state of organisms and individual cells. Properties common to the known organisms found on Earth (plants, animals, fungi, protists and bacteria) are that they are carbon-and-water-based, are cellular with complex organization, undergo metabolism, possess a capacity to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce and, through natural selection, adapt in succeeding generations."

Life is a being on the universe that does it's thing and then passes on to leave space for another life... and so the circle continues
