The idea that the human body is an organism isn't problematic scientifically or philosophically, it's only a problem religiously. What is the brain of a computer? The CPU? The CPU and the GPU? The CPU, GPU, and RAM? etc, etc. It makes much more sense to assume interdependence in an organism than some sort of weird "operational independence" or however you'd like to phrase it. The computer as a poor analog is easy enough to appropriate to approach thought experiments.
