Imagine acknowledging that DNA has the same relationship to a human as a virus does to a cell and then thinking that's a good thing.
What does it mean when the body is entirely secondary to the propagation of a molecule? A virus destroys the cell without regard because it's only "goal" is to spread itself regardless of whether or not its beneficial to the cell. The only difference between a virus and your DNA is a question of strategy.
You're still ascribing more importance to DNA than it deserves. The overall system of a living body is what gets propagated, chromosomes are just one part of the mechanism by which that occurs.
The analogy works fine. A virus cannot propagate in a vacuum, it does need a body. Specifically the body of a compatible cell.
Wait are you trying to suggest that instead of having an idealist quality things have dialectical natures?
