"Life" as a law of nature/abstract idea/physical phenomena would not meet the Statutory Requirement of patentability under current USPTO regulations - in order to be eligible for patent, the object must be some useful and new (or newly improved) process, manufactured item, machine, or material.

Besides, we've all known about "Life" for so long that even if natural phenomena *were* inherently patentable, it would certainly not make the grade for the Novelty (Newness) Requirement of the patent process.

At least, not in the US.
