UnmannedAerialPilot User ID: 27573455 United States 11/29/2012 07:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is it possible for a person to still be conscious after he/she has been beheaded? Could they be aware of what has happened to them? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25413197 It would seem possible due to brain activity... Could they try to talk? Or look around??? I'm curious... Haha wow...I don't even really know how to answer that. I mean, when I behead chickens the beak sometimes opens and closes and occasionally the eyes twitch. Like you said, there is some brain activity, but it is just nerves...blood is no longer flowing to the brain. Honestly though, how could anyone know the answer to this without experiencing it firsthand? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 12373605 United States 11/29/2012 07:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | But seriously, I saw a video of a death-row inmate who agreed to be decapitated for a scientist, who wanted to see if people could live. I think it was on liveleak, it's an old-style video looks like it's from the 80's. But the guy blinked twice, after being told to blink twice if he can hear the doctor. interesting, really sorry i don't have the link, it was like 3 years ago I saw it. |

But one can look around and KNOW what has happenned. Chop off a chooks head and see for yourself. They look around and still react to stimuli for about 30 seconds AFTER they head is cut from the body. |

catsscratchfever User ID: 2199611 Canada 11/29/2012 08:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It’s likely that yes, the brain remains conscious for a few seconds after a head leaves its body. When the guillotine was commonly used in revolutionary France, there were numerous reports of decapitated heads moving for up to 30 seconds, blinking eyes and showing expression. But scientists studying decapitated rats’ heads think the brain only functions for about four seconds after being severed. There is a wave of brain activity about 40 seconds after decapitation in rats and in humans, though that researchers think might be the real line between life and death, when the neurons in the brain lose their electrical charge and completely stop functioning. There have been accounts of people surviving what’s called internal decapitations, where the bones of the skull separate from the spine. In those cases, the neck has to be rebuilt to keep the head aloft. [link to curiosity.discovery.com] |
