		Life is a multi-faceted concept with no simple definition; this article is confined to the primary meanings in biology; articles on life in other senses are included in the article life (disambiguation).
		A useful characteristic upon which to base a definition of life is that of descent with modification: the ability of a life form to produce offspring that are like its parent or parents, but with the possibility of some variation due to chance.
		In all known life forms (assuming prions are not counted as such), the genetic material is primarily DNA or the related molecule, RNA.

	village voice > art > Sally Mann at Edwynn Houk Gallery by Vince Aletti
		She digs even deeper into the intimate interplay of life and death with her new book, What Remains (Bulfinch), which includes 14 views of Antietam along with several other meditations on mortality.
		Dedicated to her physician father, the book opens with Mann's bracingly unsentimental essay on his interest in the iconography of death (clearly part of her inheritance) and his death at home, surrounded by family, as well as the death, burial, and eventual disinterment of her pet greyhound, Eva.
		Looking into the eyes of her children, Mann sees the immediacy of life and the inevitability of death, and embraces them both with all the strength she has.
