Do you think viruses should be classified as "living organisms"? why or why not?

Not, Viruses are not considered "alive" because they lack many of the properties that scientists associate with living organisms. Primarily, they lack the ability to reproduce without the aid of a host cell, and don't use the typical cell - division approach to replication.

I dont think viruses should be classified as a living organism because they arent made up of cells, they dont grow, and they dont make their own energy.
