Exploring edge of life
Not set def of life. Edge of living and non-living

Insular cortex – important to awareness of sensation. Perceives living things. Pattern of movement. Biological movement more interesting to small kids than random. Learn a lot animals easier and retain info. Seem to have built into ability to see living things and focus on movement, faces etc.

Abortion. Ensolement. 40 days or first movement.
Court didn’t deal with when life starts
Life doesn’t bring it flows. Merging and splitting. Not embryos die all the time. Invitro lots of eggs. Bit in lab? Not the same.

Death. When it occur. Lungs and heart and Brian. All together. . Water creatures that live in water a dry out Tartifer, mematoads a and rotograves can die and come back. Lot of water, inert. No motion. No processing food. Inert. Hydrate them and back them spring. 30 years. Flies, moss. Aprons
Crypto biosys. 300 years. Even into space and back

Coma. What is dead? Heart best life? Brian death sysndrome. EEG flat, dilated pupils. Not breathe on own. Conscious center of life? No law.

Can reject based on religion. Jai
What part of Brian. Hypthalmus
