#1 Oh, look, it's Betteridge's Law of Headlines:
"Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

Leaving aside the question of whether we should make batteries from children, I do give them style points for alliteration. "Dying like dogs" and "build better batteries" is good. Maybe go for a trifecta by appending "so we can toodle about in Teslas".
