Individual humans don't quite fit the definition, many don't reproduce at all, the ones that do only do in groups of two. Strictly speaking you'd have to wait and see whether a given human child eventually reproduces to decide it's alive...

But with bees it's much worse -- in each hive, only the queen and some drones reproduce, most bees are worker bees that can't. So this definition fits bee hives better than it does individual bees.

Seems the definition would need to say something about the species as a whole reproducing. But that leads to the species definition problem. And what about that tortoise that was the last of its species?
