You are going to have to define free-will. I think that the same person put into the same situation makes the same choices. So it is the result of history. There is the chance that neurons fire semi-randomly, potentially meaning someone might connect a different thought given the same scenario. Either way, does it matter? Are those things free will? I believe people can chose thier actions. They can choose to be better or worse or any of a million other things. This ability to choose is free will, and is independent of determinism. Even if it is an illusion (and you are just successive, deterministic events), it is important that people chose to be who they are. That is how society can exist.
