I guess it boils down to how one defines "choice". The minimal way to think about choice is to require the existence of an agent that is capable of producing binary outputs. Each output signifies a decision the agent has made. The agent is treated as a black box and whether the agent is deterministic or not remains unspecified and irrelevant. Another approach is to attempt to endow the agents with some sort of free will. An interesting realization is that there is no way to know whether humans or anything else for that matter qualify for the second option. There may exist a deity, alien or Matrix root who already knows all our choices before we do. The funny thing is: we couldn't even tell the difference.
