It would seem helpful to define what Life is - what is it?
​
It will be hard to find a consensus on a definition of "Life" since one does not exist.
​
Everyones own pet definition can be shown to harbor inconsistencies, anomalies, omissions and absurdities.
​
But since you asked:
​
Life is complex chemistry in continuous action.
​
Totally inadequate, but there you go.
