Philosophers usually say life and death, and never begin with death; however, biologists thinking differently, especially when taken in consideration the phenomena of apoptosis.
Interesting! For most people with a logical mind, unless there is a life, it is difficult to think about death. Therefore, my guess is that philosophers noted the above fact and introduced "life and death" in the sequence they occur.
I think, for biologists too only a living being can die, as per the dictionary definition of life and death.
Apoptosis is a mode of cell death, the other mode being necrosis; this is so regardless of the cause. This is in tune with the concept of a person having only three modes of death, namely coma, syncope and asphyxia, regardless of the cause of death.
I think you should clarify the question.

Dear all,
thank you for your response & valuable share
by listening to dr M. Mahmoud, he answer my question as follows" we should not look at life and death as separate items, they are working together all the time,
in the human body, cells die and replaced every day, the surface area of tongue partly replaced every 3 days, the entire bony skeleton renewed every 5 years, like the falling of tree leaves from which the word "apoptosis" has come..
as a biologist, i dont think in life and death as separate items, genes of apoptosis were present before life (before birth)..
by thinking in life (birth of live being) it cannot be the beginning, dead substrates was first..
plants arise from soil, from seeds all are chemical substances ..
the egg is a sum of protein, informative and non-informative ,all are dead substances..
