Technically yes they could survive. But if the frontal lobe was destroyed then no. Because the frontal lobe is the basis of all motor functions if it is destroyed then all functions would cease to exist as the nerve endings connected to the tissue would be dead so in terms of science there would be a 20/50 chance that a person with half a brain would survive.

What happens when one side of the brain is dead?

The brain is like software for a computer. once everything is working OK then there's no problem.

However, if the left side of the brain is dead, it does not mean partial loss of 'functions', but total incapacity of the entire human body

Why can't dead people be revived?

Technically, dead people can be revived, if they've been dead for only a few minutes. This is called clinical death, and it can be reversed. But for people who've been dead for over a week, then probably not.First of all, when people are dead, they immediately start to rot. They will start disintegrating to smaller forms. When that happens, a horrible smell will start to rise, then eventually be disintegrated to the point they they are only skeletons. If someone dead has been left in the open for a week, then it will be a skeleton in only about that long.This is the main reason why someone dead can't be revived. If someone is brain-dead, but is not clinically dead, then you can't revive that person as well, because their brain is not functioning/responding.
