    I mean, does it erase 50% of all life, or just roughly 50%?

      50% of what Thanos considers life since it was powered by his will. Since he seemed to imply that nature (plants and animals) where not part of this it’s safe to assume it was sapient life only.

        Except animals definitely were - remember endgame, Barton went into the office looked out the window to a small garden and found birds had appeared. Very indicative that the snap included animals

          That’s just government propaganda to make you think that birds are real and not drones.

        Makes you wonder what happened to fetuses. I think it’s fair to assume Thanos isn’t pro-life

        Do we know if Thanos believed in life at conception or birth? Does someone with a donated organ count as one life, two or zero since they wouldn’t be alive without the organ. If I only ate one foot, or how about one toe, does that make me a cannibal?

        He was worried about limited resources, so I would assume that non-sapient fauna would be included.
