The field of stability of life extends beyond the limits of the biosphere, and the independent variables which determine the stability (temperature, chemical composition, etc.) attain values well beyond the characteristic biospheric extremes of these quantities.

Of Ageism, Suicide, and Limiting Life
Journal of Gerontological Social Work, 1995Increased longevity, life-extending medical technol- ogy, and growing health-care costs have given rise to much discus- sion of the meaning of life in old age and to suggestions that limits be set on the length of life: by suicide or by limiting medical treat- ment. It is argued that, while recommendations that treatment be limited or suicide be viewed

Cyanobacteria in Deserts — Life at the Limit?
2006Cyanobacteria are primitive phototrophic prokaryotes whose long evolutionary history dates back to the Proterozoic era. Their ubiquity on the planet and dominance in hot and cold deserts is a measure of their ecophysiological resilience and adaptability. They have been studied extensively as part of exobiological research into the limits of life in the

The limits of reductionism in the life sciences.
History and philosophy of the life sciences, 2011In the contemporary life sciences more and more researchers emphasize the "limits of reductionism" (e.g. Ahn et al. 2006a, 709; Mazzocchi 2008, 10) or they call for a move "beyond reductionism" (Gallagher/Appenzeller 1999, 79). However, it is far from clear what exactly they argue for and what the envisioned limits of reductionism are.
