Euthanasia

The Euthanasia Ring links together web sites that want to discuss the pros and cons of euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide and self-suicide for the terminally ill. It is not for discussion of the morality of killing stray pets or pets that have become old and feeble, though you might incidentally discuss those issues by comparing and contrasting with attitudes toward human euthanasia. It is not intended to discuss suicide generally, but, of course, the same issues come up in the terminally ill context.

This ring welcomes all points of view extreme right to die to extreme pro life.

If you’re not familiar with the concept of Rings, check out the WebRing.com or my essay on webrings.

This Ring is open to all groups, organizations, services, directories, businesses, and individuals who want to discuss either side or both sides of these issues.

Your site should at least be viewable without ActiveX. ActiveX is too big a security risk to turn on generally. You might still use this tool to enhance your site, but visitors without it enabled should at least see something.
Place your nav bar on the page most closely related to the webring topic, or on a page reserved for all your webrings. The URL you register at WebRing.com must be the exact page where your navbar is. If you put navbar somewhere else, the automated link-checking software won’t be able to find it and WebRing.com will automatically suspend your membership in the ring.

Best for printing. Fairly slow to start up. Often stalls on first page from a new site. Must hit reload. 9% market share. Firefox properly balances two-column layouts. None of the other browsers do. Firefox displays SSL certificates.
	Google Chrome	53.0.2785.92	with the Java 1.8.0_131 JRE. Dropped support for Java Applets. Good for YouTube. Frequently automatically updated. Has no edit source button. Slow starting when it fiddles with a proxy. Poor downloading — it hides the fact it is doing so in the bottom left corner. Often downloads without you asking. Handles foreign language sites particularly well since it integrates with Google Translate by automatically translating. Best for interacting with Google. BrowserMark rates this as the fastest browser. Good for ecommerce. Can’t print white writing on a black background. 53% market share.
	IE11	11.0.9600.17501	with the Java 1.8.0_131 JRE. Now works with Java Applets. Some websites will work with no other browser, though many work on everything but this eccentric browser. 10% market share.

	Avant	2018:1	with the Java 1.8.0_131 JRE. It is a fast browser, especially at starting up. Has problems with JavaScript. Excellent at rendering and printing tables. It uses the Firefox or Chrome rendering engine. In theory it should handle Java, but I can’t get it to work.
	Opera	48.0.2685.52	with the Java 1.8.0_131 JRE. It no longer its own rendering engine, which was its main advantage. It uses Chrome.

I welcome all points of view.
