The article linked at the beginning of the thread seems to indicate that the decision to do a thing comes subconciously, and it comes BEFORE the desire is felt. The desire seems to be the result, not the cause.
This would indicate lack of freewill, even when "free" is re-defined to mean completely constrained and not free, and "will" is defined as desire.
We can have desires, but it appears we don't even chose to have those, they are just chemical reactions resulting from a series of previous causes.
