> My heart can exist independently of me, and be transplanted into other people, but does it mean that it is alive?

Interesting analogy, made more interesting still if one replaces "heart" with "brain."

And what if you reverse mitochondria and host cell? If you remove the mitochondria, is the host cell still alive? The analogy would be to remove the heart from its 'host' environment, and asking if the remaining body still can be called alive.
