[[Life]] is, in common usage, a summary term for those properties that can only be vaguely described, by which [[living being]]s differ from dead [[matter]]. A generally accepted definition that would do justice to the fullness of life exists neither in [[philosophy]], nor in the [[science]]s or [[religion]]s. It is characteristic of a living organism that it is able to adapt to a changing environment within certain limits through its '''vitality''' ({{Latin|vitalis}} "viable") without losing its special character, that it constantly regenerates itself and thus fights against injuries, disease and aging, and that it ensures the preservation of the species in the longer term through reproduction.
