Unless anyone here has a PhD in physics AND philosophy, or has done an incredible amount of reading in both fields, I'd suggest staying away from the issue of quantum mechanics' implications on the free will argument. It's many orders of magnitude more complicated than simply saying "it allows for indeterminism."

For those who are interested in this and who are proficient in the language and notation of quantum mechanics, I'd recommend Jeffrey(sp?) Bub's "Interpreting the Quantum World". It requires a LOT of prior knowledge though, so I'd suggest finding it at a book store and peering through it before buying it...
