I don't feel dead
The synergy for living organisms is better expressed by the term 'emergent property' which incorporates the alive and not alive aspects of your person. But emergent property is a not so simple a thing to define, really really smart biologists write books on the topic.

Like string theory that is joked about for it's complexity and depth, emergent property as a way to define alive versus not alive components of your person is not well expressed in this kind of venue. So I used the synergy. When you eat a calcium supplement, the pill is not alive, but when incorporated into your tissues and cells it is alive. What changed? The explanation of that change is within the greater idea of we are all alive and all dead at the same, and over time.

when asked if the glass is half empty or half full, i ask how it started...

if it was full and you drank half, then its half empty! if it started empty and you only filled half, then its half full ;)
