:::Don't get us wrong, there is considerable debate as to whether viruses should be considered living, however an alternate definition of life has not been settled on. Inevitably you have to cut it off somewhere, if we keep going smaller then eventually we'll be saying amino acids and atoms are alive, and it is most likely that a cell will remain the basic unit of life rather than its organelles being declared living (they cannot function on their own, and also ribosomes are only components of an organelle, the endoplasmic reticulum, and therefore are highly unlikely to ever be accepted as living).
