My First Taste of TOK

Today, Mr. Roger's TOK class came into the computer lab during ITGS today. It was my first and only taste of TOK, and I'm even more convinced that it is total bull. They're discussing something about "stem cell research" and when can you really call an embreo alive. Mr. Rogers was saying something about ameobas on Mars and comparing them to embreos, and Roman Roth was saying something about the difference between "human life" and a "human person." In case your reading this, Roman, I'll clear up the indescrepincy. THERE IS NONE! Humans are humans, bar none!
Nobody even thought about the applications to the death penalty (is it worth sacrificing one human to save another). They just sat there yapping, and never getting anywhere. That's not education; it's just stupid babble, and a waste of school time.
