i think it's more like closer to 'things that can chain together enough reasoning to run rationalism.exe' but yea mostly.By definition, if something is walking and talking and eating and interacting with its environment - then it isn't dead.

Why would they? If they can make synthetic blood and defend against the sun, it's a possible source for global superpowers. "Curing" it would be counterproductive.
