perhaps my context on the last sentence was off. i should have stated that this is the biological definition i am talking about. "it" in this case could be a plant, a dog, a horse, a bacteria. the "child" phase of a creatures life (animalia, plantae, fungi, protista, archaea/archaeabacteria, and bacteria/eubacteria) cannot reproduce, the "adult" phase of its life it can. ability to procreate is the defining factor of adulthood.
