Transistors, tunnel diodes and other semiconductors depend on quantum 
effects. That doesn't make devices using them into quantum computers. I 
would regards arguments that brains rely on physics at the quantum level to 
make their actual computations are still very much open to debate.

Even if they do, that indicates that the universe supports such methods of 
data processing. Therefore such devices would be capable of deliberate, 
controlled, manufacture by some means or another.

As I have posted here before, there is a theoretically sound argument,
now with some support, that quantum effects occur at nerve junctions.
