>>21709979I gave the seven criteria for things to be considered alive. OP wrote; "It's basically one of the biggest social milestones a person has and a litmus text to see if you can function in society.", which is why I asked if the ability to be sociable and make friends is a developmental milestone. If you cant be considered alive by definition in the animal world you will definitely not be considered alive in society. I am not saying there is anything wrong with being a loner or not having sex, but it is certainly a milestone in society, not as important as making friends or being able to communicate, but definitely a milestone.
