Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, which causes it to be less addictive than either heroin or methadone. The âhighâ produced by buprenorphine is less intense, and the side effects are less dangerous.

So life is really chemistry. Life really is a form of chemistry, a particular form in which the chemicals can lead to their own reproduction. But the important thing, I think, is that when we think about the origin of life this way, it isn't that life is somehow different from the rest of the planet.Life is something that emerges on a developing planetary surface as part and parcel of the chemistry of that surface.ndy Knoll: It's fair to say when you go out and walk in the woods or on a beach, the most conspicuous forms of life you will see are plants and animals, and certainly there's a huge diversity of those types of organisms, perhaps 10 million animal species and several hundred thousand plant species.
