Cells, Microbes & Viruses / Re: Can Viruses be Considered as Zoetic (Living) Beings?

The analogy does make sense, as viruses commonly invade cells and take over their machinery. But the ability for viruses to be able to hack (access) the "operating system" (nucleus) could also classify it as a different type of life form. It is essentially following characteristics of "software", but has a different approach to access an operating system, which could classify it as a living being.
