Lets say someone found my body somewhere and it wasn't indentifyable but wasn't charred so that analysis could still be performed. How would you find out how old that person was with out using obvious clues? Can you/is carbon dating a viable possibility?
The reason I ask this is because when they cloned dolly the lamb chop, she died around the same time as the clones did despite the clones being technically only a few years old, the reason for this is because the cells had the same age while the body of the clones had a younger development age.. So, with that said, are they able to conduct a test on a person to see 'how old their cells are'?
