It was until it went into space.
Unless you're speaking in a different way...No it's a rubber suit. The actor guy in it is a living person.
Or. Could a xenomorph actually exits now somewhere in space?...yes.

Yeah, what Pootergirl said. You have to clarify your question.
Theoretically, the Alien creature as portrayed in the movies, of course is a living creature.

Could a xenomorph actually exits now somewhere in space?...yes. No, I mean the character, not the rubber suit, and not in space. Just standing around in normal mode. Is it alive? I say no. Would you like to know more?

Biomechanical, so it depends on your perspective.
Is Commander Data a living creature? What does he say about that?

Would you like to know more? With those parameters I'd say yes it is. However your definition of "alive" might have to be clarified. //Would you like to know more?// Someone has been watching Starship Troopers?

The Alien creature wasn't bio-mechanical as far as I recall. The T2 Terminator was bio-mechanical, a mix of machine and human (living) organic tissue.
The Alien creature may have "looked" somewhat mechanical, but it was totally organic and a living being.

I might be being 'far fetched' here but it's fun to have an alternate theory.

All of that implies that we're talking about a living creature. If something were A.I. for example, it could be "taught" to react, but that would have to come from a higher power (ie: creators) first. Care to expand your thought process on this?

The answer lies in the way it reproduces. If I recall correctly, the same way that every other "creature" does which is through "mating" and in this case, it can be a face hugger implanting eggs. But there's always a "host" (just like human females are the host once they are impregnated) to carry the "offspring" until it's "delivered" (in this case, bursting through the chest wall of the aforementioned. It's not "intercourse" in the same way heterosexual human beings do, which relies specifically on a male and female. The Alien creature can "reproduce" with any other species, but the "act" itself is just dissimilar.
