I think you did find an example, immediately, as your paranthetical qualification suggests.
-but lets run with it. Yes, it would be relatively simple to program a machine to reject it's programming. That is..literally, a one step process. It's still programming, though, isn't it? Is that what you mean by our human freedom? That we're programmed to reject our programming, whereas "robots" are not programmed to reject their programming?
What you said is very true. A robot can be programmed to even destroy itself in some situations (for example, to also destroy the secret codes and data in its embedded controllers and memory chips).
The question now: Why does a human decide not to obey his inner routines.
First, let us note that if a human allowed his own death to happen while he had the chance to stay alive, it could be of a preprogrammed routine of self-destruction or not .This could be done for many different reasons usually to save himself or some others from real painful things or to hurt some others by depriving them from things, if not worse, because of his death.
But what I am sure of is whatever happens in me in my life. In brief, when I face a person who is pleased to start playing somehow the enemy with me remotely, I don't feel good if I try to stop him or think to get my revenge later. I mean, if I obey my instincts in this, I can't avoid seeing myself much like a TV set (a sort of robot) which could be turned on and off remotely. So, I keep talking to him as a friend who cares. Many times, I gained new friends this way. But when my both cheeks, right and left, were hit, it was a very clear sign to me that I was facing a real human-like robot whose reactions could be of any aggressive animal.
Let us recall that those who are created to play even the greatest evil persons on earth, are given also the best talents to play the good angels before their audience.
Therefore, the cheek's hint proved to be a great though simple one by which I can discover if I face a human or a robot. Yes, every human (as I) is not perfect, so one may hurt me by a mere coincidence. But he doesn't repeat it if I turn the other cheek, only robots do since they have to obey their instincts of superiority.
Finally, let us be rational, any robot here has no choice but to hear all what I say as totally nonsense. And I don't argue on this because it is a natural fact that no one can change.
