A member asked:
Can you tell me if a man with half a brain can survive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Half a brain.: A man may certainly survive with half a brain. One may even survive with no cerebral hemispheres provided that the brainstem is intact. That is the basis for chronic vegetative state.
