Free Will?

I just read an experiment about twins reared apart.

Some years later, the researchers interviewed the twins to find out what their life was like. Neither twin knew of the other.

The similarities were astonishing. Both moved to the east coast less than 100 miles apart when they grew up. Both married a woman with the same name. Both even built a swing on the biggest tree in their backyard.

So it seems that certain behaviors are genetically determined which leads us to the question "What am I choosing to do and what are my genetics predisposing me to do?"

Research the Minnesota Twin Study.
