    This isn't a question of semantic language, it's an attempt to overturn the popular idea that "My DNA is myself."

    You are not DNA, you are a by-product to ensure the survival and propagation of your DNA. If DNA could spread more efficiently without you, it would do so. The only difference between a virus, essentially just rogue DNA/RNA, and a human being is a question of strategy. You and your DNA are separate entities.
