Yes and no. Biological systems are similar to mechanical computers in that they are information processing systems. However, they are also self-assembling, self-repairing, wet, massively parallel, etc. Artificial biological systems are in a sense programmable, but with the difficulties of a physical system that can be error-prone and extremely complex.
