Do you want examples or definitions? They are no ironclad definitions, they
all have something to do with reproduction and in behaving in complex ways,
and such definitions work fine for a while, but they all start to break
down when you push them to their limits, like when you get to viruses, both
biological and computer. But that's OK because we have lots of good
examples of life and non-life, and examples are always far more useful than
definitions, except maybe in pure mathematics.
