I wouldn't get too excited over this 'discussion'. The liberal bias is such that sound-byte rhetoric will rule the emotional and rational scientific discourse will be manipulated to establish , at the very least, ambiguity. I did send several questions, but look for them to be re-pgrased to suit the strawman argument someone live on the show can burn down.

My primary question was, "Is the alive human embryo a human ORGANISM?" Then, "If it is not deemed an ORGANISM, when in the lifetime continuum of the 'thing' would the guests define the alive thing' an individual human ORGANISM?" I also asked, "Is it correct to define organs as the same as an organism?" And I asked, "Which age along the continuum of an individual lifetime is the starting point: embryo, fetus, neonate, toddler, pubescent. ... Which one is the defining age when the ORGANISM begun at conception shall be deemed worthy of protection as a fellow individual human rather than a source for harvesting body parts?"

I have participated in debates such as the above mentioned coming to MS NBC (on local forums), and every one not in a church setting has been tilted to either defend the specious preconceived notions of 'choice' or foster ambiguity regarding the unborn. I don't expect this to any different. If it is, I'll write to Shapiro and thank him, personally!
