Surviving?

I just read this article about Henrietta Lacks who's cells have survived for decades after her death and is apparently extensively used in laboratories to this day.

Set me thinking... What does it really mean to be alive? Is it sufficient if your cells survive? After all, physically, aren't we made up of an assorted array of cells?

The changing seasons have brought about a change in perspective. Never imagined one's mood could be so dependent on weather.
