A natural system lies in tension between life and death: death is as important to it as life. A lot of death is a sign of a healthy large population. Too much death is a sign that it is in danger; it is not coping; its terms of coexistence with its habitat are breaking down. Too little death is a sign of the population exploding to levels which will destroy it and the ecology that supports it. No death means that the system is already dead.

Death is the end of life. It is the irreversible cessation of biological functions that sustain a living organism; however, the identification of the moment of death presents certain difficulties. Some organisms, such as the immortal jellyfish, are biologically immortal, they can however still die from means other than the effects of aging.
