Leech neurons used to implement a calculator.

Are you suggesting that applications above some level of complexity can't be implemented using biological components? Because I'm pretty sure all I need to show you is a NAND gate in order to prove that arbitrary computation is possible.

Aren’t, right now, not can’t.
Can you explain why you think that matters?
