No, my point with "functionally" is that it can be killed.

Biological immortality is a very specific concept indicating an absence of aging and the absence of an increase in expected mortality along with age.

I just mean that something can still eat it. This is an easy concept to understand if you're not focused on correcting people needlessly.

I was just being a smartass, but I appreciate your commitment to clear communication.
