Have you ever dreamed of having your own dragon?
Thanks to the advances of modern science, this fantasy can become a reality today. This book explores not just the possibilities, but concrete ways to create living fire-breathing dragons and the problems that will have to be solved.
The following topics are considered:
- The use of technologies such as CRISPR gene editing, stem cells, and bioengineering techniques to create real dragons;
- the dangers and challenges that lie ahead along the way;
- entertaining facts about the various animals that can be used as the basis for creating a dragon;
- ways of creating other mythical creatures, such as unicorns and mermaids, and the ethical issues involved.
Written in a humorous and accessible manner, the book is intended as a satirical look at cutting-edge science and mocks the hype and speculation inherent in unscrupulous journalists and scientists. The authors have clearly shown that the real achievements of modern science are incredible and need only thoughtful and creative perception.
The publication is addressed to a wide range of science enthusiasts, inquisitive schoolchildren and their parents interested in bioengineering, stem cell research, genetics and genomics.
