No, they're not. They're just easily compared to a living organism.

First example is speculative so is not an example.

Second example the volition is internal and consists of automatic life functions.

Try again.

Artificial intelligence does not constitute life, as it does not share the other properties I have already posted.  Just as a computer is not alive, no matter how complex its' programming.  :shrug:

A person who has become incapacitated is still identified as life because they are categorized by their type of organism, and not by their current state of being.  Until they die, they are still considered alive.  Something which is not categorized as a type of biological life, however, can never become alive.

Hmmm...that raises an interesting question, actually.  Since the components of Frankenstein's monster were mostly human, and the monster's heart was "re" started by a jolt of electricity, would the monster be considered alive?  If not, would a person who received an organ transplant?  What about someone who died and was brought back to life with CPR or paddles?

:strokebeard:
