You wouldn't download a heart.

A hearth is a community of billions of living cells. When all the cells are died, it becomes a thing.
@Shamar
So thingness is a function of complexity?
@remotenemesis @ella_kane @TheGibson
@_cr0_tab @remotenemesis @ella_kane @thegibson
No, it's the opposite of being alive.
Now, life IS complex, but... this is another issue at all.
@Shamar
So life is unthingness? No thing is alive?
@remotenemesis @ella_kane @TheGibson
@_cr0_tab @remotenemesis @ella_kane @thegibson
No, sorry my English sucks.
Let's try again.
Things are not alive.
Computers are things.
People are alive, they are not things.
So are cells, plants and animals.
Hope this helps!
@Shamar
It is difficult to have a semantic discussion across a language barrier.
There are living things, and unliving things. Unliving things aggregate into life and living things dissolve into unlife constantly.
The division is a dualism of the categorizing mind. A gradient with no clear boundary. As indistinct as the line between the rain and the flood.
@Shamar @remotenemesis @ella_kane @thegibson
You're wrong. All life is sacred. Let us unite the forces of Light and Life against the nihilistic Thanatos enamoured forces of death

I don’t think @_cr0_tab's statement is wrong, but it's partial.
It's like when they say that after 70 years of research into artificial intelligence, we are near to reach the singularity, a human level artificial intelligence.
I always try to sell them early birds tickets for the Andromeda Galaxy: after all aerospace engineering is even a bit older!
We do not know what life is.
