Humans as Machines?

I believe that we, as humans, are neither entire not machines, or one hundred percent machines. I do believe that there are parts of us that are strictly machines, such as the digestive system and other autonomical systems. However, I believe, as many others in the class said, that there are things about us that are not machines. Machines only have one purpose, to do whatever thye are programmed for, and do it as efficiently and as fast as possible. Clearly, the human race has had its setbacks and have not always chosen the most efficient way of doing things. Also, some people mentioned free-will and art and other things that are not necessary to sustain life, that we have created as a people. I would agree with this, in saying that those types of things are only created from humans who think outside the box, and as a result create things such as art and philosphy.
