At present, Titan (one of Saturn's moons) is a better candidate for a source of life. It has lakes of liquid methane and has active weather patterns. Methane is a fairly volatile organic compound and is implicated in scenarios for early life on Earth (as well as being the by-product of a number of biological processes).
More important, Titan appears to have geothermal (er, Titanothermal? :-) processes that provide energy that is provided by the Sun on our own world -- in much the same way that volcanic vents on the floors of Earth's own oceans provide energy for life forms that are very, very different from surface-based life forms.
The geological/geothermal processes on Titan appear to be linked to tidal forces caused by the massive gravitational pull of Saturn. Since Pluto itself is small and its satellite Charon even smaller, any tidal effect is likely to be minimal, and Pluto is SO far from the Sun that virtually no solar energy reaches its surface.
So I won't say that life on Pluto is impossible, but it's highly improbable.

I recently took an Astronomy course in college. There is not sufficient proof that there is life on Pluto. It is very far. We currently have a spacecraft that is in space as we speak. It will reach Pluto in the coming years and more data will available then.

Pluto what Pluto? They say it doesn't exist. I don't think there is any life on that planet,but then again what do I know?

The last time I stopped by Pluto for a quart of milk, there was a really friendly guy who invited me over to meet his folks. I couldn't take the time out of my busy schedule to go with him ... but I'm pretty sure he wasn't alone up there.

residing on pluto may be very comparable to residing on the astroid of armagedon. large crevices full of razor sharp stalagmites of frozen sulfur. Gravity so low you need to fly off the planet if given a speedy kick interior the *** . And a retarded steve buschemi firing a very computerized chain gun and guffawing at together as all bruce willis will do is take a seat there and cry approximately his daughter

Possibly.

Probably fleas.
Oh do you mean the former planet? I thought you meant Mickey's dog. Wouldn't it be hilarious if there were?
We will have to refer to it now as AFKAP*, since Prince isn't using it anymore.

Is there life in your stupid brain, Pluto is a frozen hunk of lifeless ice, similar to whats in your head. You win the Darwinism award.

No.
It was deregulated as a planet this week and so the aliens that lived there left as it became too unstable.
