Wait, so understanding consequences and telling right from wrong are required for free will? Or was it thinking at rationality? Or sentience?
You said you thought animals have some level of free-will.
Can a pig tell right from wrong at any level, and who determines that for the pig?
Edited to add, what if computers someday show all of the above?
Let's say we tell it a is right, b is wrong (Like Asimovs laws of robotics or something), and they become sentient, that is aware of their own existence, and they can think and reason rationally, would they have free-will then?....Hypothetically of course.
