Reply to comment by treethirtythree in We are living beings, yet every single atom that constitutes our bodies isn’t alive. by The-Elder-King
I like your answer but leaves plenty of room for doubts. If, let’s say, carbon atoms that compose your body are considered alive, then it means that the mineral that will be formed in billions of years somewhere else in the universe - with the very same carbon atoms that make you today - will also be alive.

Why would that be a problem? For doubts, they will always exist and I kind of like it that way. It leaves room for possibility and wonder.
