What you will choose to do with your circumstances depends on what your genetics are and how they have been influenced through the enviroment.
The first thing they told us in my Brain and Behaviour class(the first class in neuroscience) is that free will is an illusion created by the frontal lobe. there are studies to back this up. My internet searchin' skills are abismal but if i can find studies i will post them. Wether or not this is true, or true to this extent is a discussion for another thread. Though I beleive there is a much heavier influence on his decisions by genetics and enviroment than you give credit to.
