b'Note from Josh: Open Line runs through Skype, and Skype was apparently working very poorly the night we recorded this. Thus, the audio is pretty skippy. You can still follow what we\\u2019re saying, but it\\u2019s not nearly the same quality you\\u2019re used to from Life Report. If you\\u2019re willing to be patient with that, I think the content of this show will be helpful to you. From now on, we\\u2019ll run a backup recording off our mixer so that if Skype acts stupid again, we can replace the audio straight from our board. Caller Questions: 1: "How would you respond to this pro-choice argument: \\u2018DNA is like computer code, and many fetuses die before birth because their computer code malfunctions, so we really can\\u2019t know if a fetus is human until it\\u2019s born.\\u2019" 2: "I think the popular pro-life quote, \\u2018abortion has killed one-fourth of our generation\\u2019 is both a false statistic and a poor argument." Listener Mail Questions: 1: "Technically, \\u2018abortion\\u2019 is the termination of a pregnancy following, accompanied by, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. Because a) this can apply to miscarriages and b) it\\u2019s the killing of the child, not the ending of the pregnancy, that we oppose, do you think it would behoove us to use a different word?" 2: "My friend wants to become an embryonic stem cell researcher. Is there any unique way you would discuss the issue of life with an abortion doctor or an embryonic stem cell researcher?" 3: "I was wondering, why some people would oppose reproductive cloning but not therapeutic/research cloning? It seems the one that doesn\\u2019t kill people would be preferred."'
