- Ingestion
- Respiration
- Feeling
- Motion
- Excretion
- Reproduction
And some others. I don't remember my 7th grade science now.. So we are in fact 100% alive. To be 70% alive is to lack one of the factors of life which is considered impossible except for reproduction. You can lose your factors but you are always born with all of them.
The acronym for life is Mrs. Nerg;Quote:

Technically bone doesn't move, respire, reproduce or sensitize. Does that mean it's not alive? This is a matter of opinion and not fact, though. Some people include everything in the human body when they say we are not completely alive. Well no shit, urine, water, excretion and mineral compounds aren't living things obviously. However, we as a being are completely alive. What we contain might not be but all of our internal organs, our muscles, bones and skin are alive. You can't be part dead, it's not possible.
