Who?

Does it have to be based on DNA? Does it need to have a level of consciousness? must it be able to reproduce? share your thoughts. |

This is a very tricky subject. I think it kind of depends what we're talking about. I'd say reproduction is important, though there are people who, through a fluke at birth or some unfortunate circumstance, can't reproduce. I'd still say they are alive, though. I would say plants are alive, though I don't believe they have consciousness. |

Who?
|
makes you think. I mean, at what point would someone consider artificial intelligence to be alive? Would there ever really be a point when that happens? What do we find the main aspects of life? are they the way it works on earth or how we can relate to it and how it can relate to us? |

I consider everything alive. But it's really based on what you think happens when you die on what you'll say is alive or not. |

Everything means everything. Even ideas. If ideas aren't alive, then there's no action. |

Who?

ehm, could we please stay on topic a little and not make pointless jokes? this is not the lets kid around corner, this is the intellectual corner. anyways, I personally like to say that life should be a term used for any process that is built to reproduce. This would, unlike what biologists define to be alive, also include viruses and various computer programs. I think that making the term apply to everything makes the term pointless since we already have a term for everything. |
