    Our definition of “life” is very narrow. Let’s broaden it to the widest possible definition: A lifeform is any self-sustaining system that takes in energy against the entropic gradient to synthesize information storage/replication-systems for the ultimate purpose of creating a new generation of lifeforms. Once we broadened the definition, then we are no longer constrained by the Earth-centric conditions.
