Thank you for your comment. Actually when I wrote that sentence I was thinking about a book entitled: "The selfish gene" by Richard Dawkins. The author mentions that that sentence should not be taken literally, genes do not have a consciousness but they propagate in interesting ways.

I am very happy to trust this. However, consciousness often leads to crazy discussions among certain people... Also in the quantum mechanics domain with the nature of the observer (huuu I should write about that one day).
