This line doesn't make sense

Christoph says Truman was born in front of a live audience, so he can die in front of one. However, earlier he says Truman was adopted by the studio and chosen out of five babies. What really happened?

He also said a baby was chosen amongst a few where the birth was coinciding with the start date.

hE WAS ADOPTED WHILST IN THE WOMB. Easy.

That line also means that all 5 mothers had their babies filmed in the womb... because the show didn't know which baby would arrive first.

No, it doesn't.

Something in a womb is not yet a BABY, it's a FETUS.

for the line to make sense and to be truthful, they couldn't have done it that way - they would HAVE to have been born first.

Try again.

They showed the birth of all 5 and then decided which one to keep. pretty straightforward. Heck, maybe they let the audience decide.

it makes sense.
and now Christof needs to hire a good lawyer for the upcoming attempted murder charge

Yep, premeditated with lots of witnesses. If Truman could not swin at all, that sinking at deeper waters would've been enough. Murder in front of millions.
