One of the hardest parts about arguing either for or against abortion is determining just what life is and what life isn't.

In my studies of science I have learned that all living things are composed of cells. This is very strange because in my biology course last winter I learned about viruses and the professor had said that viruses, even if they are autonomous, have DNA, and breed, are not life because they do not have cells.

This is just about the only thing I'd say science is 100% wrong about, but as I say this I, myself, don't have a definition of life.

What do you guys think? What constitutes life for you?
