Dear Pietro,
You perfectly summarize the difficulties with my definition of the GP : either we consider the GP as the organism itself (is it a problem ?), or we have to consider it as an abstract entity equivalent of the aristotelean 'form'(which is a problem in the context of materialism).

Let's ask the question of the GP differently : According to the prevalent concepts in genetics, what is transmitted from parent to offspring ?
