Any bronze sculptors out there want to give to me a life-sized full-body sculpture of my dragon form?
Any British royals want to then give me a castle in which to display this sculpture?

Any mad scientists out there want to do some questionably ethical genetic manipulation to turn me into my dragon form?

"But with that kind of technology you could cure cancer!"
Well, I don't *want* to cure cancer.
I want to turn myself into a dragon.

@ziphi Scratch it, turn everyone into dragons. Everyone who would like to be dragons, including you, be turned first.

@vellathelatias Oopsy, accidentally made a contagious dragon virus. Sorry about that!

@ziphi Ono, what are we gunna do now? 😱 /j
(The most horror this might cause would be bureaucratic horror as many dragons would reapply for citizenship (or confirm their citizenship), heh. But I wouldn't be against it infecting me and making me a dragon.)
Honestly, Spiderman's logic in that meme from the comic is bad.
Scientific progress in any field about any subject may be useful in other fields and for other technologies as well. It's not like a slice of pie where there's that much less advancement for other fields.

@ziphi Path dependency due to social norms strongly implies to me that if you don't immediately make the dinosaurs, you lose the opportunity forever
@ziphi I feel like the process of turning someone into a dragon would have to yield something useful to cancer research.

@toroidalcore It'd be great for medical research honestly! So many different breakthroughs would be needed in so many areas that would all have potential medical use! Plus dragons!

@ziphi @toroidalcore Technically, if you transform your body into a completely different one that would mean the cancer, which was a part of your old, human body, would now be gone too.
