Thank you for your important idea on free will.  I like it because it makes us agents of our own morality.  I think it makes us more human than the idea that all we are is derived from our biology.  The exclusive biological philosophy can lead to despair because we lack goals we can form and strive to achieve. Thank you.

Yes, an extreme neurological view of humanity takes away free will and therefore takes away our choice to act in a morally good or bad way.  It basically takes away all moral virtues because, by definition, all moral virtues involve a free-will choice to be good in some way.  Forgiveness, therefore, would be an illusion from the viewpoint of your previous philosophy.
