He provides claims that defend the ethics of human organ trade.

What is the nature of freedom? Or a better question should be, what is free will and do we have it? The definition of free will is not a simple answer. Free will tries to account for our introspective belief that we have control of our actions and as a result, our own destiny. Nothing in our lives is predetermined and every cause has an effect.

Compatibilism. 2) Incompatibilism. According to compatibilism free will is possible even if determinism is true. But, incompatibilism says that freewill is not real if determinism exist (Sider 2014).

Free will mean the action that we choose…
