A biologically living thing has an evolutionary relationship with all other
living things. No "purely artificial thing" can be endowed with this organic
connection with the natural biotic world.  Sorry to be so wordy; I originally
said only " an evolutionary relationship with other living things", but the
mailer rejected the post because the included text was longer than the added
text.
