Good going economist!
It is absolutely impossible to computationally simulate embryonic development and even less possible (or about as impossible) to make the plethora of changes needed to produce anything even resembling a dragon.

Worth noting that recently the first simulation of a single cell *was* achieved, so we’re certainly working towards simulating things like embryonic development, but are light years away from it. Particularly as I believe that cell was simulated on a huge computer and it took a significant amount of time
