... except that one is alive and one is not. That seems to be a strikingly fundamental difference. Is there a biologist in the house?

Also, given the inability to measure all qualities of even a single particle (e.g. the position and momentum) simultaneously to arbitrary precision, I don't think the statement that the living and dead tissue are identical is meaningful. At least, it's not a meaningful question to a physicist.
