JOHN GREEN WEDNESDAY 11/18. Hendrix College, Wellness and Athletics Center, Conway. 7:30 p.m. Free. When it comes to contemporary young adult fiction with a realist bent, there are few names bigger than John Green, who came to prominence with 2005’s “Looking for Alaska,” a novel whose never-ending (and mostly inexplicable) place in the crosshairs of conservative book banners only made it more popular. Green’s 2012 novel “The Fault in Our Stars,” which went on to sell over 20 million copies after receiving an explosively popular film adaptation, further solidified his importance in the world of young people’s literature.

You can clone the best dog you ever had. Would you?

After a beloved dog dies, its owner can afford to have it cloned. The procedure is legal and improving, but it uses animals as surrogates and will not recreate the original dog's memories or personality.

What do our obligations to animals permit us to create for our own comfort?
