I bet you cant even reason why. Go ahead i am waiting here
fingernails are made of the protein keratin, hence they are composed of amino acids as building blocks.
Because amino acids are organic molecules and aecause cells naturally produce fingernails, fingernails are indeed organic in both the chemical and biological definitions
How could they not be? Just wondering

Keratin is non-living material, essentially the same as hair. You are eating virtually zero human cells when you bite fingernails, so I am inclined to answer no.
Yeah, pretty much by definition they are.
If you eat organic food and only use organic products on your body, yes.

They are made of steel so I don't think so.
