[SomewhatLikely]

Self-replication doesn't seem necessary. A human who is infertile is clearly still living. Worker ants who can't reproduce would also be well within the living side of the spectrum to me. I give these examples because it seems to me the definition of living should apply at the individual level, not the species. Individuals after all are the ones doing the dying.

replication is still happening in the lower cellular/molecular scales, even when the aggregate organismal level isn't reproducing that pattern. People who take these definitions very seriously aren't implying that elderly people aren't still alive :)

The infertile human still came from some fertile being.

What about cloneability?
