I thought that it did make some relevant points, none moreso than:
None moreso than the fact that this "being taught to children" actually means it is included as one small item in one small module of on particular subject which those students have chosen to specialise in.
So it is a small film clip giving a pro euthenasia point in a film about the different stances on euthenasia which is shown to those students who chose to take a course on philosophy as part of their leaving exams.
Would you be happier if an education in philosophy only contained views from one angle?

Can you see the problem yet?
You are taking your starting position from a loony site which based its article on a daily mail article.
the daily mail would be bad enough but a crazy rehash of a daily mail scare story is really beyond any semblance of credibility.

At what point of the academic cycle is this particular module of the philosophy course given to pupils who have chosen that subject?
