What is life?

Life is every moment we live every day, but we also refer to it as our time in this world.
This can be defined in several ways depending on the discipline in which we focus.
Life is the capacity of life, from biology, defines life as the ability to be born, breathe, develop, procreate, evolve and die. Also to consider that there is life from this perspective, it is necessary that there is an exchange of matter and energy.
Life, from physics, can be understood as the time that things last or as the evolutionary phase, that is, that the stars have life, something that would be incompatible with biology.
The life, from the philosophy, also is difficult to define, since depending on the philosopher and the current that is analyzed, the answer that will be obtained will be different. We find philosophers against the distinction made earlier between "body and soul" or "reason and body". For other philosophers, life is a set of experiences. Within this conception, life can not be understood by other disciplines, since it is something that happens, it happens to living beings, that is why it can not be defined to science.

Human life
In medical terms we talk about human life, from the beginning to the end of it. There are those who consider that life can be taken as initiated when the ovum is fertilized. Others say that life as such begins with birth, which until the moment of delivery is a fetus.
There are experts who consider it necessary to separate human life from biological life. This was a subject that was already treated in ancient Greece, one of the thinkers who reflected on it was Aristotle. The illustrious considered that to be able to consider the human life requirements were needed, some of them were the autonomy, the freedom, the search of the beauty, the policy, the philosophy, among others. This view has received many criticisms, since from this definition many people could not be called as such.
On the other hand, others consider that a requirement for human life is the reason. It is this that distinguishes us from the rest of living beings. It is considered that this position was presented from the diffusion of the Judeo-Christian religion. Although throughout history it has been modified, not only those who are right are considered as possessors of human life.

Nowadays, since Christianity, he understands human life as a facet that the soul must overcome before reaching fulfillment. From other religions, such as Buddhism, life is considered to be the different states of reincarnation
