well, I don't think that this is an obvious question nor an answerable one. we are prisoners of our own mind and will never be able to observe it from a third-person-view.
however, it is interesting to keep in mind that we "control" ourselves via chemical interactions between millions of neurons. so, our choices are chemical. introduce a chemical to those neurons and our perceptions, choices, and reactions start to change. so, how much free will do we actually have? who knows, as it's all chemical, anyway.
