How does the freedom of this compare to something such as DD-WRT?

Why can we get punished for destroying an organic machine, but not an inorganic one? If I smash my computer, nobody will care. If I do it to my next-door neighbour, that would be considered illegal and immoral. Strange.

Only if someone finds out about it.

machine
məˈʃiːn/Submit
noun
1.
an apparatus using mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function and together performing a particular task.

Are humans not one of these? Has it always been that humans were punished for destroying organic machines or is that perhaps a construct of society.

Only if the organic machine was human, and only if it was not viewed as "the enemy". A construct of the religious beliefs of society.

Why is the organic machine viewed as the enemy and not the collaborator. Why does religion seek to denigrate and subjugate the organic machine.
