What about the chemical atoms and laws, they are driven by ;)

Cis or trans? That's what matters.

So what is the answer in your opinion?

Don't you think, that living and non-living are composed from the same atoms? They don't have the same chemo-physical laws?

you can also talk about the molecules present in them

sometime back i had seen an NMR showing different molecule concentration.
you could talk about diff in water amounts

I agree with Jackbean on this one. Both dead (or non-living) and living things are made of atoms and molecules (matter), and are under the same rules of physics.
