The real question is whether the cells in our bodies are actually terrorist cells!  * shock *

I don't. If cells are alive, are mitochondria alive? If life is defined as consuming food and air, producing waste, and reproducing, is fire alive?

I like #1 and #4 equally. But I'm more likely to say the fourth. So I'm just going to pretend I've copied that one.

Not all of them are, but if none of them were then the wider organism (i.e. me) wouldn't be alive...and I am!

Some of them aren't. But the rest of them are presumably carrying out various chemical reactions, and I appear to be breathing, so I conclude that most of my cells are alive.
