Advances in science progressively enable metaphysical and philosophical issues to become tested and mechanistically explained. By drawing upon the forefront of remarkable experimental results from quantum biology, a case is made that there is already sufficient scientific evidence to reasonably conclude that both consciousness and intentional 'Will' must necessarily be underpinned by quantum-based mechanisms. Considerations around the criteria needed for testing a quantum-based Will are outlined, alongside the subsequent proposal of a type of experiment that could help narrow down whether 'Will' is intrinsically quantum in origin. These experiments involve modifications to the pioneering studies conducted by Michael Levin with regards to demonstrating intelligent problem solving capability in cellular organisms.
