I believe viruses can be considered a living thing, but there are reasons for it not to be. One reason is, although it does have DNA, it technically does not have an organized body structure and DNA, because it is just DNA, or RNA. To be a living thing, it would need a body and DNA, but viruses do not have a body, they are just DNA or RNA coated in protein. They do not need a body to survive though, because they can do this with out one. Viruses do reproduce, but not like most living things. Viruses attack a host cell, and inject their genetic material into the host cell. It causes the host cell to produce the DNA of the virus. The virus is replicated, and usually causes the host cell to burst. The virus then attaches to another cell to make
