No a person can not live without a brain. You can not live without a brain because it controls everything. Although, some functions of the body are automatic, and a person can live if the brain stem is intact.
The mammalian brain may be functionally isolated in-vitro with the aid of an external artificial life support system that maintains an adequately oxygenated blood supply. A number of experiments have been done since the 1960's involving the sustained isolation of various animal brains, including frog, guinea pig, and monkey brains. Most of these experiments have shown that the isolated brains could be kept alive and functioning for hours, and in one case with a monkey brain, 3 days. Recent experimental data based on EEG readings of the neural activity taken from isolated brains kept alive in-vitro, appear to show the same kind of activity seen in a conscious in-vivo brain, which suggests that the isolated brain is in fact possibly conscious.
The body of a person who is brain dead can be kept alive indefinitely, but if the person is truly brain dead, then the person will never revive. Such a body can live even without a respirator, because the brain stem is still functioning and controlling the basic body functions like breathing and heart beat. The brain stem is the most primitive and basic part of the brain.
Physicians are the best people to help decide if a person is brain dead.
Yes it is possible but that human will have to use different machines
yes as long as they have a spinal cord they can live without a brain
No. The brain can not live without the heart.
"An individual with a completely dead brain can be alive, if the heart is functioning."
Yes. there have people born with such a defect. See link below:
I'm afraid not.
No, it is impossible for a human to live without a brain.
cerebrum
yes you can.. there is a 2 year old boy born without a brain ... still surviving. he only has a brain stem.. look it up on youtube.
Because there is no central nerve system to control the body(the brain).
No.
You can't. No brain, you will die.
If a zombie looses its head in an insta shot it could live about 2 or 3 seconds after it looses it head. If it took another shot then it will die immeditaly
Actually, no human being can go without oxygen for 4 minutes and be expected to live
No
no.
for a certain amount of days
probably not they would die as soon you took there brain out and a human brain know about how to control monkeys
