What is life? The ordinary definition of it is, in a general sense, that state of animals and plants, or of an organized body in which its natural functions and motions are performed, or in which its organs are capable of performing their functions. In animals animation, vitality, and in man that state of being in which the soul and body are united. This is the lexicographical definition of life. It reflects the ordinary and generally accepted conception of life.
