How did it start?

I think that's quite erroneous. It's entirely possible to have living things with no particular drive, or even ability, to reproduce, errors or no. There's absolutely no inherent drive to reproduce or evolve in living things.

I was under the impression that reproduction was part of a formal defitnition of life, along with some form of energy transmission.I also think that this reproduction is inherent to life - that life is an "entropy facilitator", and can be seen as a form of chain reaction.

Women often have tubal ligations as a method of birth control. That doesn't mean they cease to be alive.

I was referring to species, types, groups, not individual beings. Virii are not alive as they do not metabolise anything, I understood.
