WHAT IS LIFE?

This is the most difficult thing to describe or explain. So here is my interpretation of it.

LIFE as we humans understand it means, any organism that breathes air/oxygen, eats food to sustain itself, procreates itself in order to ensure longevity, and have unique ways of communicating with each other, or similar organisms.

WHY ARE SCIENTISTS SO BENT ON FINDING HUMAN LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS:

I think it is because they (by and large), feel that there might be other humans living on other planets, that look just like us.

And I have issues with this contention, because human life is not homogenous. We are different, speak differently, communicate differently, and behave differently.

So even if other human like beings exists on other planets, they may not necessarily have two legs, walk upright, speak verbally, procreate, or even indulge in sexual intercourse.
