Free will
"Neurobiology tells us that there is no centre in the brain where actions are planned and decisions made. Decisions emerge from a collection of dynamic systems that run in parallel and are underpinned by nerve cells that talk to each other--the brain."Has science proven that free will is an illusion?

Somebody needs to get a conversation going here.....
Here's a quote from Carol Gilligan about the deterministic view growing out of some uses of biological research: "This turn to biology is a way of not listening at a time when many groups are speaking who hadn't been heard before. [It says] we don't need to listen to women or African-Americans; we only have to look at their genes under a microscope."
More on this in the dissertation. Guess you'll have to wait for the book (HA!). LDF
