Some scientific papers have been published which suggest that free will is something of a hoax that we have invented from inside of our own brains. According to such neuro-scientific work, the parts of our brain that deal with decision-making and moral responses tend to operate in much the same way from person to person. Understandably, such studies have led scientists to question the validity of the concept of free will at all. While the jury may still be out, it is certainly the case that some scientists have been able to predict responses from people they have been studying, just by examining parts of their brains' physiologies. Although the ideas such research throws up are certainly noteworthy with respect to free will, nothing has yet been published which definitively overturns the concept.
