I think your definition of a machine is limited to simple mechanical devices.
Machines are just physical systems that perform some work. This includes cells, biological systems etc
If we built a human from scratch at atom level detail then it would be reasonable assume it would experience the world as we would. By definition you would have created consciousness.
