Two questions there now, (1) Where viruses fit in, and (2) Any further research on whether they are or are not life. Viruses are quite complex, two basic types, RNA and DNA viruses but there are giant viruses that are large as some bacteria and you have tiny viruses that infect ...

Why aren't viruses considered "alive"? What does something have to do to be considered alive? Does the discovery of Giruses (giant viruses like Pandoraviruses) change the way we view viruses as being alive or non-living? What are viruses? State two ways in which viruses get into the cel...

The logic here is simple and arguably undefeatable: you cannot kill something that is not alive. Much the same argument was made by a science writer in the top scientific journal Nature, on the occasion of the discovery of virophages, viruses that parasitize on other, giant viruses of amoeb...
since viruses aren't alive at all so we don't even call them an organism. Maybe trying to point out which of these sets of objects is alive as an individual life form distracts from the processes that demonstrates what life is? Maybe life is the cycling interactions and it doesn't matt...

2) Viruses cannot be grown in cultures, in order to replicate they need RNA or DNA of cells 3) Viruses do not neccessarily cause disease (only in people with compromised immune systems) I am not sure about postulate no 4. The microorganism must be re-isolated from the inoculated, disease...
