public interface NonPersonLivingSubject extends RimObject, LivingSubject
A subtype of LivingSubject that includes all living things except the species homo sapiens.
Examples: Cattle, birds, bacteria , plants molds and fungi, etc.
Rationale: Living organisms other than human beings may require additional characterizing information such as genetic strain identification that cannot be conveyed in the Entity.code.

A value representing whether the primary reproductive organs of NonPersonLivingSubject are present.
Returns: the attribute value
A text string representing a specific genotypic or phenotypic variant of a NonPersonLivingSubject.
Examples: Minnesota5 (swine strain), DXL (poultry strain), RB51 (vaccine strain of Brucella abortus)
Rationale: There is no universal guideline for the naming or cataloging of strains. Many strain designations are created and eliminated over time, while some become established in various industries for a variety of reasons (vaccine production, breeding stock popularity, etc). However, the ability for anyone who cares to designate an organism as a "new" strain, precludes this field from being a coded value. Descriptive text is required to capture these designations.
