SummaryHuman beings, as superior animals, are born with unique cognitive processes that we have yet to identify in other animals. It is our cognition, our thoughts that set us apart from other creatures and make us who we are. However, our ability to think and analyze is also what causes us to question what we are capable of. Within the capacity of our thoughts and minds we have complete freedom. It is the freedom of our bodies that we continue to question. Who has final control over our bodies? Philosophers, lawmakers, and the average individual have been battling with the idea of our physical freedoms for a long time. We, as human beings, have free will and because of this every action is an exercise of that freedom. Because of our free nature, despite some limitations, we have ultimate control over our bodies and our actions.
