I think it is fair to assume that most biologists consider "life" to be the following: a biological system of self-replicating molecules. According to the available scientific evidence on the theory of evolution by natural selection, it appears that most biologists interpret the prokaryotic cell as being the last universal common ancestor. I am very skeptical that there will ever be a scientific consensus where all biologists will interpret the available evidence in exactly the same manner, much like the situation in quantum mechanics (multiple interpretations of the available scientific evidence).
