Galaxies Fit One Definition of Macroscopic Life
Halton Arp proposed that galaxies (me: adults) eject pairs of quasars (me: spawning/reproduction), presumably bare plasmoids, and these quasars evolve into new galaxies. This seems to me to fit the definition of a living system. Quasars collect plasma (me: feeding), and assemble the mass they need (me: organization) to become small galaxies (me: young). These galaxies then grow and begin the process over again. Old "dead" galaxies presumably have their materials recycled back into mix. I think self-organizing systems that feed and reproduce themselves are one definition of life.
Unless you ask, the answer is always "No".
