According to The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Americans spent more than twelve billion dollars on surgical and nonsurgical procedures in 2014. With plastic surgery trending, society debates whether it is a victory for the science community or morally wrong to alter humans.…

He was a wiry haired German Shepherd, prowling around the cabins, marking his spot. I was a dog lover and also had a German Shepherd at home. This dog looked harmless.…
