Read the paragraph from The Hot Zone and the summary that follows it.
Once the cells in a biological machine stop working, it can
never be started again. It goes into a cascade of decay,
falling toward disorder and randomness. Except in the case
of viruses. They can turn off and go dead. Then, if they
come in contact with a living system, they switch on and
multiply. The only thing that "lived" inside this monkey was
the unknown agent, and it was dead for the time being, It
was not multiplying or doing anything, since the monkey's
cells were dead. But if the agent touched living cells,
Nancy's cells, it would come alive and begin to amplify
itself. In theory, it could amplify itself around the world in
the human species.
