Link review

Virus Structure

The image of virus on the page looks more like a mechanical thing than a living organism. According to the article, unlike bacterias, viruses are actually not living organisms in the strict sense of the word, because they cannot carry out teir life-sustaining functions or reproduce without a host cell.

So these little guys' sole reason for existence is to hijack the cells and functions of their host, without even having a life of their own--born to kill without conception of life.

It is all very bizarre.
