To be rilly rilly fair (why?) I guess a pedant's self-replicator would be a DNA strand stripped of all RNA and enzymes transcribed from a prior copy of that strand and isolated from other cells, which was still capable of replication. Since that never happens, the DNA-protein world contains no examples of a 'true' self-replicator. And given the role of somatic cells, definitely not a multicellular one, sexual or otherwise. You can use that, Joe!
