virus debate-help needed

[Tara da Costa]

Hello.
Next week, my grade 11 biology class will be having a debate on viruses,
the resolution being that they are not living organisms. My group is
challenging the resolution and is conducting research on the topic of
viruses indeed being living organisms. 
Any help or different ideas, views or opinions that anyone wishes to share
with me would be greatly appreciated. It would also be appreciated if you
respond via e-mail to bi629 at Freenet.Carleton.Ca

Thank you very much.

Tara.
