I can see your point of view here; life is quite easy to define in terms of biochemical processes now. If we were to find that some mythical bit of the brain (I want to call it Shatner's Bassoon for some reason ;)) or some particular biochemical process is both necessary and sufficient for the possession of consciousness then it becomes a nice, tidy, deterministic action to identify it.
