	BIOLOGY - LoveToKnow Article on BIOLOGY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The new matter taken in to make good this constant loss is either a ready-formed protoplasmic material, supplied by some other living being, or it consists of the elements of protoplasm, united together in simpler combinations, which consequently have to be built up into protoplasm by the agency of the living matter itself.
		But in addition to these distinctive characters, living matter has some other peculiarities, the chief of which are the dependence of all its activities upon moisture and upon heat, within a limited range of temperature, and the fact that it usually possesses a certain structure or organization.
		Living things which present this visible ;tructure are said to be organized; and so widely does organization obtain among living beings, that organized and living are riot unfrequently used as if they were terms of co-extensive ipplicability.

	LIFE - LoveToKnow Article on LIFE
		Living substance (see PROTOPLASM), as it now exists in all animals and plants, is particulate, consisting of elementary organisms living independently, or grouped in communities, the communities forming the bodies of the higher animals and plants.
		Living matter is a mixture of substances chiefly dissolved in water; the comparison with the crystals has led to a supposed distinction in the mode of growth, crystals growing by the superficial apposition of new particles and living substance by intussusception.
		A living organism usually displays active metabolism of protcid, but the metabolism may slow down, actually cease and yet reawaken; a dead organism is one in which the metabolism has ceased and does not reawaken.

	Abiogenesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aristotle explicitly taught this form of abiogenesis, and laid it down as an observed fact that some animals spring from putrid matter, that plant lice arise from the dew which falls on plants, that fleas are developed from putrid matter, that mice come from dirty hay, and so forth.
		In 1683 Antoni van Leeuwenhoek discovered bacteria, and it was soon found that however carefully organic matter might be protected by screens, or by being placed in stoppered receptacles, putrefaction set in, and was invariably accompanied by the appearance of myriads of bacteria and other low organisms.
		Huxley, continued to postulate a "primordial archebiosis", in which the living organisms observed in the present world had originally arisen in a series of stages from non-living matter.

		Living systems are unable to receive energy directly, except for plants that use sunlight through the process of photosynthesis.
		Living systems may have artifacts distributes along their boundaries that give added strength like the bark of trees, feathers, or fortifications such as the Golan heights between Israel and Syria.
		In free living cells there may be a more specialized ingestor at the base of a depression on the cell wall that ingests matter.

	The Soul and the Living Body (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Since all living bodies are composed of nothing but matter and display degrees of controlled activity, the first step in dealing with the question should be a consideration of the natural behavior of matter and the control to which it can be subjected.
		That this is the case is not a matter of opinion or speculation; it is a matter of science.
		Consequently, it is called "living matter", and the explanation or secret of life is thought to lie in its chemical and physical composition and structure.

	Evolution of Living Matter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		While evolution of the living matter as found in the geological record is a product of modern science of the earth, without entering into such details the ancient Indian texts of philosophy and Ayurveda deal with the origin of life in a different manner.
		Hence, there is need for a close collaboration of modern science and ancient Indian thought to fully understand the evolution of living matter in the universe in general and on the earth in special.
		The earth being a representative of the universe, and in dynamic equilibrium with the universal bodies, its evolution to catch the spirit to manifest life is a matter of deep reflect from both the occident and the orient.

	Life Science \| Session 8 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		All living and nonliving things are made of matter, with the most basic unit of matter being the atom.
		This distinction is typically encouraged in the early grades as children are taught “living vs. nonliving.” Even children who have understandings of matter and its basic units are likely to believe that living and nonliving things are somehow different.
		One fundamental property of matter is that it is conserved — in any system, the total amount of matter stays the same, even if atoms and molecules are recombined in different ways.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Biogenesis and Abiogenesis
		Vitalists, on the other hand, maintain that life is generated from living beings only; its origin must ultimately be sought in a creative act of God, who endowed matter with a force sui generis that directed the material energies towards the formation and development of the first organisms.
		Others call the spontaneous origin of life from inorganic matter a logical necessity, and add as explanation that the cell must consist of more primitive units of life, which will ever remain invisible, and whose spontaneous origin from matter is thus withdrawn from observation.
		Matter, then, can never, not even under the most favorable circumstances, produce either living cells or living biophorids, and hence we conclude that life owes its origin to God, the Creator of matter and energy.

		Congress defined patentable subject matter in section 101 of the Act, and the Court took the text of the Act, along with the legislative history to determine that Congress unambiguously drafted the subject matter provision to be broad.
		A narrow interpretation of “matter” and “composition of matter” within section 101 would frustrate the purpose of the Act, because an invention clearly envisioned to be within the subject matter of the Act could not meet the standards of novelty and non-obviousness.
		Living matter falls within “matter” or “composition of matter” in section 101 of the Act.

		Let us now consider that living matter is included in the distinction of all matter and that the major premise of chiropractic can easily be applied to living matter.
		Principle two states, “the expression of this intelligence through matter is the chiropractic meaning of life.” Principle three notes, “that life is the necessary union of intelligence and matter.
		The reference to a universal intelligence organizing all matter and an innate intelligence organizing living matter often leads students of the philosophy of chiropractic to think that there are two different intelligences at work.

	THE MOTIVE FORCE OF THE EVOLUTION OF LIVING MATTER AND THE THERMODYNAMIC THEORY OF AGING
		Analyzing matter from the angle of its composition and texture, one is struck by the hierarchic organization of the biological world.
		It has been established that the chemical composition of living organisms (e.g., plants and animals) changes in ontogenesis, phylogenesis and at the lengthy stages of the evolution of biological matter.
		The use of the macrothermodynamic approach when studying the spatial structures of different hierarchic levels of living matter (such as, for instance, molecular, supramolecular, cellar, populational, etc.) has paved the way for the foundations of hierarchic thermodynamics.

	2105 Patentable Subject Matter - Living Subject Matter [R-1] - 2100 Patentability
		Chakrabarty, 447 U.S. 303, 206 USPQ 193 (1980), held that microorganisms produced by genetic engineering are not excluded from patent protection by 35 U.S.C. It is clear from the Supreme Court decision and opinion that the question of whether or not an invention embraces living matter is irrelevant to the issue of patentability.
		The test set down by the Court for patentable subject matter in this area is whether the living matter is the result of human intervention.
		The relevant distinction was not between living and inanimate things but between products of nature, whether living or not, and human-made inventions.

	Boris Rozin "The Golden Section: a Morphological Law of Living Matter" article
		In the fundamental organization of living matter, there are the principles of stability, self-organization, and self-adjustment.
		Pentagonal symmetry occurs only in living matter and is a distinctive feature of self-adjustment systems, whereas within crystals — "dead frames", according to classical crystallography, there is a possible symmetry of the third, fourth, and sixth orders [39].
		If such morphologic process is the law of living matter, then it is possible to explain the presence of the golden proportion in the correlation of the parts of human and animal bodies with the help of this law, and also possible to explain phenomenon of phyllotaxy.

		Nevertheless, Western science has defined the universe as an array of non-living matter and non-conscious energy-a universe in which changes are due to random or accidental processes that assemble material particles, atoms and molecules into patterns within a few physical laws.
		The reductionist pursuit of matter to its tiniest particles broke us through to seeing all matter as disturbances in a great energy field, now called the Zero Point Energy (ZPE) field, in which everything is as dynamically interconnected as in Shiva’s Dance or Indra’s Net.
