Living Cells Turned Into Computers

Just because the DNA (the machine) is Turing equivalent doesn't mean that every organism (the program) is Turing complete.

" then every multicellular organism is a compute cluster, whether it has a nervous system or not.;)"

A bunch of identical cells can just sit next to each other without communicating (see variuos algae), and I wouldn't call that a computational cluster.
