You die.

/thread

I know about some kind of experiment where this scientist type person chopped off an associate's head that had been diagnosed with some terminal illness, and the point of the experiement was to see how many times you could blink your eyes after the decapitation. I'm not sure how it turned out, or if this really even happened.

but I imagine it's highly probably you'd die if your head was chopped off.

unless you're the one beast from hercules that can grow back your head and shit, in which case you belong in hell with all of the other beasts ALL HAIL GOD

edit:

"consciousness has been documented up to 35 seconds after severing the head from the torso. Which is one reason they chose that it was barbaric and no longer the quick and easy death they once thought it would be.

Not many showed signs of life after the severing though, just a few. The brain fires until the blood finishes draining from it. Natural acts like blinking stem from the brain and not the nervous system or spine as some have written on here. I have to wonder how people make it through the day not understanding the simple parts of the body functions. But i think many people cannot tolerate such thoughts and want the dead to be dead instantly. Rarely does death come immediately with almost any form of killing.

What is interesting is that no body has functioned after the severing, leaving one to realize how the brain runs the body, and not the other way around. though, losing of bowels is normal, it is a lack of control that causes that to happen.

I doubt that no matter how long a head survives without the body, pain is not a factor. Once again, the minds way of saving oneself. I've been injured badly and didn't ever notice for a full minute or two.

Even severely botched beheadings rarely showes signs of severe pain. I can't remember which king it was, but it took more than 17 minutes to get the blade through the neck, the blade had angled and went into the jaw line. Gruesome to say the least."

there's your answer.

have a good day.

There's this news story or something where a farmer cut of his chickens head and he messed up on it somehow and it lived for like 8 or 18 months he fed it through a tube lol. Btw the chikens name was mike. It would have lived longer if it didn't die from choking on some corn.....

You're supposed to pay off your executor so he sharpens the guillotine

that wasn't a beheading because Mike still had most of his brain but the axe pushed it into his body abit so the feathers covered it.

Well obviously there's a chemical reaction and the rest of your body explodes.

I'll go with that theory too :3

I lol'd.

When your head is chopped you die.

BUT!
If you are hit by a car, slammed by a falling piano, bitten by a rooster in your cock and deafened by rock astley, just before you're beheaded....

Then you're still dying.
Probably.

Actually, this was the inventor of the guillotine, and the result was that he blinked several times. (6, I believe)

I support Mantha's theory.
