Science can do it with sheep ( remember Dolly the sheep in the UK) and dogs..... look at that advanced company/lab in South Korea. However, the drawback there is that the lifespan left (of the clone) is dependent on the age of the DNA. Suppose the DNA of Dolly the sheep was taken from a sheep which was close to its end of life.... let's say there were only two years left of its natural life. The cloned sheep would only live about two years. In other words - it would age rapidly. This is due to the progressive corruption of the DNA as age creeps up....... which is our blueprint of life.<br><b>References : </b><br> IF the DNA of a dragon is not corrupted - providing we find that - then we could recreate the dragon using its DNA through cloning.

Semi-human, unnatural, we couldn't read its mind so who knows what sort of horrors it would endure.. though I'm not religious the idea of playing God in this way seems like a very bad idea, if we were to go so far as accept it as normal we'd be heading down a slippery slope<br><b>References : </b><br> Possibly possible, but would it be ethical to create these hybrid creatures or any sort of chimera?

Now taking the dragon DNA and mixing it with say reptilian DNA (say like a snake) may get you a new variety of dragon.<br><b>References : </b><br> realistically no. the two DNAs would be far too different to be able to merge them.
