    Don't worry; you should have chosen biomedical or any other branch of engineering of your choice. I'll tag #-Link-Snipped-# , who might know the answer.

    Since a living organism is continuously exchanging carbon with the atmosphere, the C-14 t0 C-12 ratio will be that of the atmosphere. This means that radio carbon dating cannot be applied to living organisms. In a dead organism the ratio changes because there is no exchange with the surroundings. So knowing the decay rate and the current ratio the date of (death) of the organism can be established.
    #-Link-Snipped-#

    Some techniques have been developed by biologists using carbon dating of old brain cells or a more cumbersome way of tooth enamel layer analysis carbon dating for establishing age of living humans. Accuracy is doubtful. It may not be legally valid also.
