Biological existentialism

Is a cell an organism's way of propagating more organisms or is an organism a cell's way of propagating more cells?

Logically, a cell exists purely to create more of itself and an organism is just the method it utilizes to exploit a particular ecological niche.Cells vs. Organisms You could argue that the organism as a whole has more control over its cells (via processes such as apoptosis) and there isn't such a thing as cellular independance, but that's precisely what cancer is.

That being said, it's likely that emotions, "sentient thought" and other touted concepts like "love (in all forms)" are purely the manifestations or relics of biological necessity. Love serves a function in that it provides psychological stability (and dependancy), plus it increases the chance of you or your gene's continued survival. Some arguments you can make from this standpoint:

All emotions are entirely likely to be the product/result of biological necessity - and possess no innate profound significance.

Purpose beyond procreation and survival is an illusion. The meaning of life is sex.

Is everyone fundamentally a walking bag of meat and hormones?

When I said survival of the fittest I was talking about how the genes are passed by those organisms that survive the best thereby changing the gene pool, and on that level, survival of the fittest ends when man uses intelligence to beat his prey.

Morality is not completely subjective, as there are some fundamentals that everyone can agree on, in that even though you might think it good to take someones money you would think it bad if I took yours.
I did not say an ultimate good or evil exists, that would be like saying there is a God or a Devil. There are however certain things, certain ideals everyone can agree upon as being either good or bad. Example your hungry you eat that's good, you stub your toe it hurts that's bad. As to weather a successful person would choose to die in order to save his children, I think most would feel morally obligated to do so, but they would only choose this option if it were a last resort, because of the fact that they value their own lives.
As to the comment about the shouting match over government you are probably right.I will say they were often exploited my a minority, but isn't this type of government always in upheaval?
