Viruses: Living or Non-Living? (or living dead?)

Well here's the big question of the day: Are viruses living or non-living? It is a very difficult topic to understand and even harder to pick sides. There is a lot of information on both sides of the debate, but I chose to say that viruses are infact ZOMBIES!!! (April Fools!) Okay, I really think that viruses are living for this reason:

REASON #1: REPRODUCTION

Viruses may not reproduce like any other living organism, but they do. The ability to form something new from another is indeed reproduction, and no matter what way it happens, in the end it's reproduction. All living things do it, and hey, viruses do so hey, I guess they are LIVING.
