"...Personally, I'd rather live in a country that goes into an anguished national debate over pulling the plug on a lone woman than one that blissfully vacations on the beach oblivious to 15,000 elderly cooked to well done back in Paris...."

That's gonna leave a mark.

I remember reading that they were shocked then. But I don't read French, and really would love to know, how long did they stay shocked, did they do anything about it, do they still remember or care?

Given VDC's political stance on individual rights, I would doubt that he supports State control over the way we die. But he wants to "live in a country that goes into an anguished national debate" on that subject, just like millions of the rest of us.
It's the freedom to have that debate that's important.
- And the freedom to reject State controls on the issue.
