But did you choose which atoms make up you? I think there is no free will because we're don't choose out of all options what atoms we get, we are just thrown into a random atom combination.
True true, but if there is genuinely quantum randomness, then the reactions those atoms go through aren't predetermined, so the initial conditions could be on an individual basis, but not the long term.
