Life

How is life defined? Is life something with a nervous system like animals and insects? What about plants? Is life determined by things that need oxygen and water and have carbon in them? So then what about anaerobic bacteria that dies in the presence of oxygen? In our search for life elsewhere, how much have we limited ourselves by looking only for traces of carbon or water? Would viruses be considered alive since they need other cells to reproduce? Are all living things conscious of the fact that they are alive?

When I was young and playing with dolls, I used to be afraid that I was just a doll someone was playing with. However life is defined though, I am pretty sure I am alive.

Yes. I’m alive. I am a life. And this life is pretty good. 🙂
