I'd guess that in another 1000 years, technology will be able to outdo traditional biology in most ways. The only real difference in the process, it seems to me, is that the evolution of technology has been highly directed- a conscious intelligence is making changes that are more likely to bring results than a random change. There are many effects of this. The obvious one is the speed difference. There's also a significant difference in the robustness of the designs.
All organisms are capable of healing themselves.
There aren't many machines or computer programs that can really do this, and the ones that can do so only in a very limited fashion. Of course, the intelligence used to direct the evolution of technology arose out of biological evolution. Leads one to wonder if the evolution of technology will give rise to something else. Evolution happens , present tense as much as past. Almost every process is a form of evolution, or shares some attributes of it.
