Viruses are dead or living- this is one statement that conflicts with the cell theory.
Viruses are considered living when they are inside the body of a host. They need a host to reciprocate and survive but when they are outside the host body, they form a crystal like structure and become non-living.
Even today, this has not been proved if this point justifies the cell theory of Schwaan and Sheldein.
