Dec. 4 (iP.-Before the ques-
ton - can life exist after
death?- can be answered,
either In the Affirmative OF
negative, we must first make
certain that we understand
what we are discussing. Other
wise. this question could be an
swered only on the basis OF
speculative assumptions and
generalities that are not SUBJ

mental proof.
The answer to this question
must also steer clear of reli-
gious beliefs and prejudices
that are largely in the domain
OF the theologians. A scientist
is conditioned by training and
experience to answer questions
only on the basis of fRcts estab-
lished through careful observa-
ton and subject 70 actual

both consciously and uncon-
sciously will apply the same

WHAT ABOUT LIFE
AFTER DEATH?

Without considering religious
and supernatural beliefs. and
without considering processes
that up to now have never been
measured or evaluated. we must
conclude that life. at least in
a material sense, ceases with
death. There is. therefore. only
one conclusion that one can
reach IL one accepts the ancient
dictum: mnia vivum ex
vivo." or "All that is living
must have originated from liv-
ing matter" Just as no life
can arise spontaneously. so we
can hardly assume that life can
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-12-04

exist without the commonly
recognized reactions charac-
teristic Of living systems.
The material cessation OF
vital activity was so evident,
even TO the ancients, that be-
levers In life after death have
almost universally assumed
that life" continues to exist
indefinitely in a different guise.
This leaves US with the pos
sibility that life" after death,
in the immaterial form Of a
soul or spirit. might provide
immortality after the cessa-
ton Of life. All attempts. how
ever. to prove the existence of
such spiritual entities by the
methods of science have been
universally unsuccessful. The
scientist is no better equipped
than the philosopher or the
theologian to answer the prob
lem Of an unverifiable form Of
life. and would be unable 10
accept any unproyable specula-
tons beyond those necessary
for the conduct Of experiments
and the comprehension of the
universe. There seems TO be
no necessary scientific reason
to believe in life after death.
Mans natural desire for i'm
mortality is not a rational
basis for scientific belief, al
though 1t remains a compelling
factor in religious belief.
Therefore. we must conclude
from our stated definitions of
life and death. that any be-
lief in life after death is in
disagreement with all the ac-
cumulsted wisdom and knowl-
edge Of modern biology.

ing bodies have certain definite
properties that differentiate
them sharply from nonlivine
materials. These properties
can be summarized briefly as
follows:
/. Growth. This is a gradual
increase Of all the component:
Of living systems. no matter
how small and simple or large
and complex.
?. Metabolism. This is the
capacity of living systems &c
asslmilate food substances ano
transform them partly into
energy and partly into then
own cells and tissues.
3. Respiration. This includes
both respiration in the presence
OF oxygen taerobic state), and
the ability OF certain cells tc
live In the absence Of oxygen
tanaerobic State).
I. Reproduction. This char
acteristic Of life ranges from
the simple fission OF bacteria
and budding Of yeasts to the
complex sexual reproduction OF
both lower and higher forms OF
life. All living creatures have
the ability TO reproduce theii
own kind. Occasionally vari-
ants or mutants occur which
are different in one or more re-
spects from their ancestors.
5. Adaptation TO the environ
ment. This may be a result
Of spontaneous mutation, Of
interbreeding between strains
and varieties. or still other fac
tors. Gradually new forms OF
life may thus arise that are
different from their progen-
itors. The plant and animal
breeder takes full advantage OF
such properties TO create new
varieties.
6. Intelligence. Even sin.
