>For many years biologists and philosophers debated what constitutes life, and the definition often involved the ability to self-replicate or have genetic machinery for some fundamental processes. Viruses were often excluded from that definition of life, partly because they use the genetic machinery of their hosts for replication and other essential functions. But most species have to use some aspects of the genetic machinery of other species at some point in their life cycle. In fact, some viruses are more complicated than some other forms of life, because they often have a complex life history that involves a parasitic stage and a free-living stage used to find new hosts.
>It is, then, no clear place to draw the line. Viruses are in many ways the most successful lifestyle on earth. They have outsourced to other species almost everything needed to sustain them, and in doing so they have become the most numerous form of life. Some obligate bacterial parasites and mutualists have genomes so small and lifestyles so dependent on a host that they are at the interface between organisms and organelles.
Woah, so NEETs are actually evolutionary succesful? Who could have thought...

In 6th grade when we learned about viruses I remember being really fixated on the requirements for life and how viruses weren't really alive.
I just finished my B.S. in molecular and microbial biology and in all of my upper division classes we never even talked about whether viruses are alive or not because it is really irrelevant when you're talking about pathology or the use of viral vectors.

Congratulations.
If I could guide you to a book or something that discusses viruses and whatever they are alive or not, I would tell you. But I am afraid I don't know.

Science requires evidence to be put forward, you haven't done so.

Only if you manage actual reproduction otherwise you're sitting at the bottom of the food chain.

Please, neet; adults like to keep the discussion germane to the original post. Looks like someone hasnt had their coffee yet...

Please stop try to rationalize your failure as a functioning member of society.

Viruses were and still are often debated because they don't have a metabolism you stupid faggot. You wouldn't call obligate intracellular bacteria non-living even though some of them outsource their DNA&RNA polymerases.
