Francis Crick received the Nobel Prize in 1962 for the discovery of DNA's central role in the process of genetic reproduction. He is author of Life Itself, What Mad Pursuit and The Astonishing Hypothesis. Here he discusses free will and its relationship to the brain, drawing a number of distinctions between the operations of the nervous system and those of a computer. Crick points out that while much progress is being made in the scientific study of consciousness, religious concepts of postmortem survival have not been disproven.
