Here's a good website: http://baharna.com/philos/life.htm#defining
Here's an exerpt from said website:
Since life is such a ubiquitous and fundamental concept, the definitions of it are legion. —John D. Barrow and Frank J. Tipler, The Anthropic Cosmological Principle
Words are our servants, not our masters. For different purposes we find it convenient to use words in different senses. —Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker
What is life? And why should we care? Well to begin with, we are living beings, and that fact distinguishes us from most things in the Universe. Though humans are not the only living things, we are among the few, so understanding the nature of life might be an important step toward understanding ourselves.

Living is life. Life is nothing but what, how, we live. Life is as long as there is the activity. The moment the activity stopped, there is no life. It can be seen in various ways for various things. For human beings it can be seen through breathing and heart beat. It can be seen for plants through photosynthesis. For fish and sea animals through breathing and movement. The live animals have the capability of movement and plants can not move though they have life.

Life can be defined as a process by which an orgamism utilizes aspects of itself to turn energy into growth. I prefer to think of life as what happens after divorce.

The random meeting of one egg with one of a million spermatozoa.... The temporary condition between birth and death where we have a small victory over entropy, but alas, we eventually succumb to oblivion as mandated by the all pervasive 2nd Law.

The spiritual energy of the Supreme Lord. We are parts of that energy, therefore we are alive. Life, spiritual energy, is eternal, full of knowledge and bliss. Life is charactized by consciousness, whereas matter is inanimate.

Life is the opposite of death: being as opposed to not being. To be or not to be, that is the question according to Billy Shakespeare.
