Where are your sources? You invent laws …
1) It is totally wrong and immoral to think that we have the right to die without pay …
2) we die less young in France than in America, because our health insurance are safe ;)

^ your health insurance may be “safe”, but our doctors and other medical assistance are much more professional.

What is it with European countries and laws about dying? (no I am not trying to be racist. I just want to make a point on how stupid laws can be)

Well, assuming people who follow this law and do die when they have a plot of land for their grave, I believe we have found ourselves a method for attaining immortality. Sadly, we’re all law breakers, so, not many of us are immortals.
