Comment Re:Wide Interpretation of Freewill is at fault (Score 5, Informative) 608

If you believe that you would not act, and think exactly the same then you believe Free Will is beyond quantum mechanics; otherwise Free Will is just the synergistic response to a complex organism that has the capability to think of itself.

Actually, no. Ignoring the no cloning theorem for a moment, if two particles are in the exact same quantum state, then they can collapse to two different values. This is precisely the indeterminacy of quantum mechanics.
