See, if you weren't clinging on to some kind of supernatural definition of free will, then you would not have any objection to the conclusion that the authors of these studies had reached, because it would be obvious to you. The only definition of 'free will' that does not dovetail with the conclusions reached by that article (or Libet, or Soon et al) would be one that does not adhere to naturalistic processes.

If you weren't clinging to your own faith-based wish for sentient life to end, you wouldn't be distorting and crazily overstating things, pretending that the implications aren't heavily debated, that is when you're not outright lying.
The only free will that exists is the one we have where we make choices based on our desires and traits, and it is nothing but naturalistic processes, as that is all there is, regardless of the absurdities you continuously furiously proffer while simultaneously believing your can make no change from your holy pre-writ.

Morally I would be fine with post-birth abortions, but I realise that this would probably be too radical to ever be implemented.

You seem to be holding out some forlorn hope that humans are more than mere organic robots, which naturalistic processes would (somewhat ironically) entail. You don't seem to know what you believe about free will (much like a Christian struggling with his faith yet refusing to throw in the towel) and are afraid to find out.
