Why would you say that living things reproduce if some individual living things may not reproduce?
Tatiana [17]
If some living things do not reproduce this could be considered a defect or a genetic mutation in those people. If we take humans for example, if most humans reproduce and some don't because they cannot (if a guy cannot produce sperm) this doesn't mean that he isn't alive, it just means he was born with a genetic mutation which doesn't allow him to produce sperm needed for reproducing.
