Hello spidey, for plants and trees i believe they're not alive at all with out Land and water. for animals, when they have soul of course, if they're brain is working, if they talked, walk and move things using their hands, paws...any biological thing that moves is considered alive for me, though not the strong concept for now, but it's all i could think of.

Hi crazy_poster, nice topic indeed. things to be considered to be alive is LOVE. Couple required love from their partners Children required love from their parents Students required love from their teachers Old people required love from their children Pets required love from their owner Plants required love from the human beings (because trees and plants are cutting by the human beings) A country required love from their people All the above people required love from the GOD. (for that people should required love towards the GOD)

they do feel, and the most important thing to keep alive is food, water, air and sunshine. what else all living needs have to.

Life is beautiful There are lots od beautiful things around us. It's just a matter of how we see it and whether we're able to realize it. In life,of course there are always some up's and down's. However, I believe, that even in the most difficult situation, there's always a beautiful thing. As wise people say,"Everything's happens for a reason".

Basic thing is continuing the life, that is reproduction. Any species which can multiply by itself by any means is called alive. Nothing is to be added than this single qualification.

According to me the requirements are that the thing must have emotions and/or it must be free from all forms of slavery.
