A Little Star Trek Help Please

[moof]

Looking for the entire quite if there is one about the (6 or 7 ??)
signs of sentient life one of which is the ability to sacrifice one's life for another.

Seems like Dr. Timicin" in episode: "Half a Life" said it at the beginning of the episode but not sure if this right.

Anyone know if this is the correct episode even ?

Movie: Ghost in the Shell

The Puppet Master: But can be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself. Life has become more complex in the overwhelming sea of information, and life, when organized into species relies upon genes to be its memory system. So man is an individual, only because of his intangible memory. And memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind. The advent of computers and the subsequent accumulation of incalculable data has given rise to a new system of memory and thought parallel to our own. Humanity has underestimated the consequences of computerization.

A conventional definition
In biology, an entity has traditionally been considered to be alive if it exhibits all the following phenomena at least once during its existence:

1. Growth
2. Metabolism, consuming, transforming and storing energy/mass; growing by absorbing and reorganizing mass; excreting waste
3. Motion, either moving itself, or having internal motion
4. Reproduction, the ability to create entities that are similar to itself
5. Response to stimuli - the ability to measure properties of its surrounding environment, and act upon certain conditions.
