"# 1 What does a virus have to do with this discussion ? I see in the post above you argue the same thing with clive . Are you for real ? Mach Says : There are trillions of unique living organisms , some possibly hundreds or thousands of years old , living on my bathroom counter , complete with genetic material , etc .. I wipe them down with windex and do n't think twice . What 's the problem here ? Mana'ia says : virus is simply a piece of DNA ( or RNA - Ribonucleic Acid ) that is wrapped in a protein coat . This is called the virus particle . Who said anything about viruses ? Another strawman . Bacteria Mana'ia . Bacteria are living , unique , fully classifiable LIFE , ORGANISMS . # 2 , Again , who is arguing that living cells are not living ? This entire line of reasoning looks to be strawman aimed at pro-choice advocates . Really , who is arguing against the fact that science classifies living cells as living ? # 3 Define distinct any way you like , it 's arbitrary , and irrelevant ."
"I had researched some stuff about viruses that was applicable about life in general because it is the only thing that is not defintely classified . So the argument was about life , the other stuff was just peripheral . Do n't make such a big deal about including other tings in it ."
