Dawkins suggests that it would be more productive to view the genes as quasi-autonomous entities that parasitically use the organisms they have helped create in order to maximize their own chances of survival and reproduction.

Quote
It should be remembered that the parasite is by definition never simply external, never something that can be simply excluded from or kept outside of the body “proper,” shut out from the familial table or house. Parasitism takes place when the parasite (called thus by the owner, jealously defending his own oikos) comes to live off the life of the body in which it resides — and when reciprocally, the host incorporates the parasite to an extent, willy nilly offering it hospitality: providing it with a place. The parasite then “takes place.” And at bottom whatever violently “takes place” or occupies a site is always something of a parasite.
Derrida, Limited Inc, 1988
