Do we have a definitive answer? v.AliveOrUndead?

Mh ... Now that Specialist Robbin told us that regulars are being slowed down up to stopped by the cold, does this impact the question if Zeds are alive or dead or the thing inbetween, being either more kind of unalive or the standard issue undead? Are regulars more like reptiles or insects, which act and behave only at certain degrees in temperature thus being alive? Or are they more kind of World War Z zombies being not really dead, but certainly not alive, thus undead?

I wish we could have seen what happened to those frozen biters when they thawed out!

Little ones seem to be "a different species" I'm still having a hard time as a scientist getting my head around the pseudoscience but I managed to accept the physics defying metamorphosis in Alien I can probably accept it here. I'm a big proponent of the "Alive theory" or at least I'd like to put them in the same grey area as viruses and self replicating RNA. My reasoning being if they are "Dead" then according to other zombie productions the laws of physics no longer apply. Eg they can keep on going with out food etc etc.

I still think they are deffinately alive as i dont think we have seen a single one come back from being dead...? If you turn, like Tommy did, i assume, before you suffer an injury that bleeds you out, stops your heart or that has damaged your brain you will remain alive, for the most part just like a normal person would. I dont think weve seen a single reanimated corpse.

I know some of you are going to say, "well we dont know for sure if some of those z's are not corpses"....well, what makes one a corpse, or dead? Death, or clinical death, is when blood circulation has stopped and brain function has ceased. These zombies, regardless of how burnt, broken, torn or "dead" they might look, still have blood circulation and brain function, and therefor can also lay claim to the title, "We're Alive".
