It think if you have some unicellular organism (without being pedantic about 
"cell" there, which after all just means "room" in latin), and you apply a 
chemical that breaks up the cell and prevents it from reproducing, I think 
it's safe for purposes of that discussion at least to say it was alive and 
no longer is.
