      We can actually live without many parts of our bodies!!

      As you probaby know quite well, people have their tonsils and appedices removed all the time. Some people also have their gall bladders removed with no ill effects. You can even remove the spleen, parts of bowel, liver, pancreas and still live a healthy life!

      You can also live fine with only one kidney. Arms, legs, eyes, are not vital for survival (but I’d rather keep mine, thanks).
