Yes, but they're not human
I DIDNT DO IT!
Same with most lawyers
imagine telling the surgeon that you have 1 lung, 3 kidneys, half a brain, no stomach, no gallbladder, no spleen, and 35% of a liver
I would prefer not to, thank you.
This sounds like what someone who wants my organs would say
:D lol you're right :D
@@mehmetgurdal WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY’RE RIGHT? WHOSE ORGANS ARE YOU HARVESTING
I know a woman who got her gallbladder removed a year ago. She has had diarrhea ever since (IBS-D). You can live with diarrhea, but it sucks. Doctors shouldn't be so set on removing the gallbladder because there are other options.
Also Dr Ken Berry has enlightening insights on the gallbladder.
Yes because I have pancreatitis. They kept insisting I needed my gallbladder removed. It showed full of stones by shadowing. When removed it was perfectly healthy and 0 stones. Surgeons do surgery. It's not good at all w/o a GB. At least get a HIDA test done. Not by your surgeon.
@@ParallaxView111 if she doesn't eat any fat (butter,oil/egg yokes/milk other than totally skimmed/cheese/cream/ most meat other than very lean) she will not have diarrhea.
Her digestive system can't digest fat any longer, so the fat she eats is just passing straight through her,and coming out the other end.
Hopefully they told her all this when operating.
The brain: half of me is gone? No, that’s fine, the other half can compensate
Also the brain: oh no a single blood vessel is blocked what shall I ever do :(
True
Lmao
Lmao
Literally left or right brain sided, lol.
Thats beacause,kids usually don't get strokes,and a not so fully grown brain,which is not yet used to normal,can compensate and adapt,but in an adult,the brain has gotten used to a normal,and when a part is heavily damaged,the brain has a much harder time adapting
I love how human body can be the most durable thing on earth or frail as heck. One can survive a thunder, gunshots, fall from incredible height, give most of vital organs, be a host of 7 different parasite species and still be living a normal life while other absolutely identical person (maybe even a twin) died because he ate a spoiled grape
Lol
I read this in huggbees voice
@@7up.m0cha Love that guy
Yes , but not actually identical person 🤓
Isn’t the human body great, can survive multiple gun shots, stab wounds, falls from planes but falling down one step or off a chair can hit the wrong area and kill it instantly or a bit later
Calling gallstones "super painful" is an under statement! I lived with them for about 3 years. At least 3 years that I could feel. I spent many a night in the ER with that pain. Eventually, the ER people wouldn't let me leave. I had put off surgery the entire time because I couldn't afford it (thanks USA!) and now it was too close to infection for me to just live with it any longer. I got 3 tiny scars just like the video shows. I wanted to see the stones but the surgeon wouldn't let me 😕 I called them my alien babies and they'd finally gotten ready to hatch.
I'm so glad your safe! Gallstones are way to scary luckily my dad managed to not get infected.

One organ you forgot to mention is the heart. My ex lived without one for years.
Freddy Fresh lol
Yeah....
In that case, I know people who live without the brain. (Not just half)
One is at the White House at the moment.
I was thinking "you'd need an artificial heart to compensate", but then I found the joke...
Good one.
I may or may not be the same way.
Shhhhhhhhh
I had an organ. I got rid of it. No problem ever since. The thing didn't even work for years. I just use a piano keyboard now.
Hahaha

Same. I was about 8, sold it for a good price.
I developed a parasite organ in my 20s. Divorced her last year. The future so bright I have to wear I have to wear shades. 😉
Damn, it took me a minute to get the joke
My great grandfather lived on half a lung. He was a heavy smoker and his lungs had to pay it's price. He was living on just half a lung and his condition was so worse that the doctors gave up and said he'll live only upto a few months and they were right. He died a few months later. But even in his final days, he never quit smoking and smoked till death.
Ummm wow
real life smoker
@AleDrGaze SPD Never do it again im not a smoker but i would like to advice to not do it maybe it could trigger your brain someday and then want you to try more and then addicton
@AleDrGaze SPD I'm not a smoker i've never had any smoke in my entire life, but seems to me that's like asking a question of any form addiction the same question "Why would you do that?" It's because you've never tried it in the long run and if you not you're lucky. Best thing to not get addiction in all of things is that stay away from it.
@AleDrGaze SPD nicotine is very addictive
What every university student in the audience heard:
"7 Ways To Pay Off Your Student Debt".
Lol
6...er 7 ways.
Is it some sort of joke that I am too European to understand?
RadioactiveCs [RCS] yeah. Enjoy those taxes if you ever actually get a job. A joke you wouldn’t understand in Europe, is the fact that everyone goes to college here, and many for completely useless degrees. Europe, is way way more picky of who goes to college. And FYI, we have extremely cheap college here and a ton of scholarships and grants for people that actually earned the right to go to college. The people you Europeans here about going into debt, are those that choose to leave the state, and or go to extremely expensive colleges. We have plenty of community colleges and in state tuition is extremely affordable. Going into college debt is a choice, and usually a stupid avoidable one.
Otis Chan whoosh implies a joke. The comment I responded to, wasn’t a joke, and if it were, it wasn’t good or funny
Sure, you did the "mind blowing" pun, but totally whiffed on the opportunity to say that the space left from removing one lung gives the other one...
...a little more breathing room.

I'm without my right ovary and appendix. Both of them were removed when I was 19. The ovary was polycystic, and was causing my appendix to act up as well, so both were removed. I was in considerable pain before my operation. Afterward, back to normal. Left ovary was (and still is) OK. I had my tonsils out too when I was an 8 year old. (Jan Griffiths).
the appendix has a very important role for the body. helps the pancreas to secrete insulin into the body and the secretion of digestive enzymes. people without an appendix are more prone to diabetes, weight gain, gastric ulcers, infections of the intestinal tract. people without an appendix have low immunity.
Except when it gets inflamed and stops working as mine did because of my ovary. I'm not diabetic nor fat, and have no trouble whatsoever digesting my food. (Jan Griffiths).@@sandralavinia5908
I had a whipple procedure where a few organs were taken and others modified. I’m not the same anymore, but THE BRAIN?!?!
I’m amazed, great vid!
So, an interesting story from middle school revolving around organ donation:
One of my teachers had both of his kidneys fail, don't remember why. It was pretty quickly spread across the school though since he was constantly attending appointments, and everyone in his family was having compatibility tested. But what ended up happening was interesting, in that one of our other teachers found out that he was a compatible donor. So over summer break one of our teachers donated a kidney to another one of our teachers, and several years later they're both going strong.
That's way cool man. My brother in law donated a kidney to his brother n they're both going strong
I’m not crying, you are.
That's really cool.
similar thing happened when I was in middle school.
That's not interesting at all.
I cannot digest the fact that I can live without a stomach
Badumm tss
relly.
i see what you did there
*clap, clap, clap, clap*
👏👏👏Good job
this video combined with the knowledge of the values of internal organs could easily get you on some sort of watch list
I could go without a brain
I remember a documentary about a high school kid who was caught up in some kind of shooting, he took a bullet to the head & had half his brain removed, whereas he was movement impaired slightly, he went on to college/university & got a degree.
Amazing that the liver will regenerate. Remove most of it and it won't just die... it's a liver.
Master Therion that pun makes me want to dye.
I was a live organ doner in 2015 to a family friend they took 66.6% of my liver and implanted it into her
buckley so it's your own liver and you still get only 1/3 of it?
**clap clap**
unown it grows back in both the donor and recipient. They get the larger half because usually it's failing or close to in the recipient.
The fact that we can live with one lung really takes my breath away
Is that a joke?
Ghost Hyperhex Ba-dum chhhh
Ghost Hyperhex was the pun intended

Punny
Frankly, my brain has gotten me into more trouble than any other part of my body. There's a reason we say, "happy as a clam".
I had to have my gallbladder taken out few years ago. No gal-stoned....my gallbladder just went septic. The gallbladder doesn't JUST store bile....from what my doctors & surgeon told me... it holds your acid/bile & matures it for better digestion which helps you absorb nutrients & help break down what you don't need.
There's this one boy who goes to my church, and his family owns a farm. One day, he fell out of their barn or something and ruptured his spleen. He had to get it removed, and it's been several years and he's doing completely fine. It's incredible how resilient our bodies can be!
That's great, but he is now missing a large part of his immune and blood system support. Statistically speaking he will not live as long, but yes much longer than if he bled to death that day! He'll likely need every vaccine available, have to be careful with any animal bites, and later in life may need IV gamma globulin to prop up a weak immune system. Hopefully he enjoys life a long time before any further problems.
Your explanations are top notch. Explaining *why and how* something matters, instead of just telling people to memorize something is a policy all schools should have.
You will learn that if you get to a more advanced class. Otherwise, there may just not be enough time. That's why I liked the math analysis class in high school. It was an elective class and they went through the derivation of all of these formulae that we learned before that, explaining how people were lead to coming up with them, among teaching us other things like matrices. It does make the whole thing more interesting.
Jo King exactly. Schools make people memorize a whole bunch of stuff (some of which they won't even need for future studies) like mindless drones. It essentially makes school into a boring thing that they are obligated to do, instead of an opportunity to learn about the world. In the comments of science youtube channels like scishow, I often see people saying stuff like "I learn more here than I do in school". And I can relate to that. From schishow alone, I've learned so much. I can barely remember anything from school. I've even seen some comments from adults saying they watch science videos with their young kids, which is just awesome. School has never made me interested or passionate about something. Those things I came across on my own.
My science teacher makes a point of explaining things in detail and making us remember them.
No surprise, he's subscribed to this channel.
thats what college is for
Our school system and college as a whole is flawed. I've learn more useful info from people who are not certified teachers on UA-cam teaching than real teachers who has wasted months of my life.

Many get along quite well, and live perfectly normal lives without a brain. We even vote for them.
Herschel Walker is a good example
I think the title is quite misleading, can live without and don't actually need are two different things, imagine it like this, a car that only has 3 wheels can still move or be used but the 4th wheel does not become unnecessary, a plane that lost one of its engines can still flight but that failed engine not become unnecessary
I was a living kidney donor back in 2009. Totally can live with only one kidney. I've been doing it for 10 years as of new years this year.
Congrats on living through that event but 1 healthy kidney is still required to live.
@@apacolyptic-llamagaming104 very true. It's one of the reasons the screening process is so extensive. They ran me through a variety of tests to be sure I was healthy enough to donate... including a psych exam as I was under 21 at the time of screening.
God bless you, I know its 10 months after but I just want to thank you for saving another person's life. Thank you and God or whatever you believe in will thank you and will reward you!
What do you mean that you're doing it for 10 years? Can you re-donate your kidney over and over? Does it grow back?
I've been living as someone who has donated since 2009. Is what I basically said... living with only 1 kidney isnt super difficult... it does mean you have to be more careful to.protect the remaining one but slimy lifenisnt drastically diffrent from before I donated.

Due to Crohn's disease, my colon was removed in 1988. Two years later, my gallbladder ruptured and had to be removed. Fast forward to 2012, I was struck by a car and my splenetic artery ruptured. Normally, this would call for the spleen getting pulled. My gastroenterologist really wanted me to keep my spleen, so they installed a stent in the artery instead. (Think angioplasty.)
The joke with my family and friends is that I have voided the warranty on whatever organs I still have.
At first I was like: Hmm, the tonsil.
Then when he said the brain,i was like: Well, this escalated quickly.

I think I had read somewhere that the reason we have two of some organs (lungs, kidneys) goes way back and that over time we have evolved to not really need the second organ in reality (hence the reason people can live without a second lung or second kidney).

As someone who was born with only one kidney and didn’t find out about it until adulthood, I can confirm you can live perfectly normally without two. 👍
Ultrasound and CT scan!
@@therainbowfaerie did it bother or scare you when you found out, or was it more like “huh…neat”?
Initially it was more like ‘huh, neat’ but now I’m older I’ve been having some health issues. I was on a medication for a different problem for 20 months before I could come off it, and it gave me kidney stones. And since I only have the one kidney, I had to have an operation in April to remove them since if my only kidney was to get blocked by stones, I’d be boned. 😅
My grandfather went to the doctors for abdominal pain. They were struggling to diagnose him and he had his first ultrasound in his 70's. He had 3 functioning kidneys, unrelated to his gall bladder acting up. Anyway, two of my cousins have a third kidney but neither of their third kidneys function.

My mother actually got a stomach surgery like that, replacing the stomach with a tube. I was surprised and thought it would be debilitating when I first heard of it, but she lives almost completely unimpaired by it, which is very impressive.
@@microitos9754 the small intestine is responsible for that, the stomach just makes it easier to digest

@@pekoV yea nah i suck at science
Wdym by “almost” unimpaired
My dad had his gallbladder removed after it got very infected and nearly ruptured, which would have most likely killed him. He said after the procedure he just has a bit more heart burn than he did before, but that is a small price to pay for not dying
A bit of chalk or an apple seem like a fair price to pay to not die.
Same happened to me as a kid definitely better
nah I'd take death heart burn is just torture
@@sentane8031 Keep roughly 2 tablespoons of baking soda in a cup in various rooms with a sink. When heartburn or acid reflux occurs, fill the cup with water. The current should stir the mixture well enough. Then drink the mixture. This always works for me.
I unfortunately got gallstones and i don’t know if i still have them or not but i am scared that they will take my life one day because my mother hasn’t placed an appointment for me to see a specialist. it’s been over a year now. i haven’t felt anything painful or stuff. i just proceed as i am living my normal life and i excise more and eat healthier
Digestion of starch and carbohydrate does not take place in the stomach, it starts in the mouth, and continues in the small intestine. The enzyme involved, amylase, only works in an alkaline environment: the inside of the stomach is acidic.

Lung: I’ve heard about one lung in class before
Stomach: idk I’m not sure but my sister had gastritis but they didn’t get rid of her stomach
Spleen: my dad got in a car crash 30 years ago so they had to remove it
Liver: idk..
Gallbladder: in a movie I watched they had to get rid of a guys gallbladder (mentioned) and my mom said they have to get rid of gallbladders sometimes is because we used to digest food differently and if you don’t take care of your gallbladder you have to get rid of it
Kidney: in soooooooooooo many movies I watched there are characters with one kidney

Dawson McCarthy it differs from market to market and day to day. The demand also varies a lot from country to country. I would suggest going to a generally old population where selling organs is legal(or illegal if you don't care) and you'll find that it'll be worth more there
Dawson McCarthy don't go to American unis, it'll be cheaper if you study abroad
Go to Japan
If you don’t need some organs why would they

If you sell your left nut and your kidney you can get a smooth 60k
we done goofed money can be earned, organs are not that easy to get
Time for a new gaming setup!
my favourite thing about this video is that the inclusion of the word "totally" in the title makes it sound like this is all a ploy to cause mass death and destruction
Liver: What is it, Gallbladder? Can't you see I'm busy?!
Gallbladder: (holds up gallstones) I maked these!
Liver: ...you made STONES?! You're only supposed to hold what I give you! Get out! Get out of here!
Gallbladder: (whimpering) ...but I maked these.
that's pretty much what happened to mine so they took it out in 2019
@@rebeccachapman1557 ouch for u
Yay for Awkward Yeti reference!
@@rebeccachapman1557... mine went the way of the dodo in 1994. I don't miss it.
AWWWWW poor, poor little gall bladder!! That old meanie liver of yours. Maybe you should have your little gall bladder out? THEN that old mean liver will be sorry, right? I really hate hearing a gall bladder whimper. This thread has been really funny!!
8 : Colon, I've been living without it for 6 months now due to a severe case of Crohn's disease that was treated badly, thought Hank would talk about it since it's a chronic intestinal disease.
Ooh
@fire there are surgical options to connect the remaining healthy intestine to where your bootyhole is, or out through a hole made in the abdomen so it collects in a bag.
I was gonna comment the colon too. My husband lost his to ulcerative colitis.
I have Crohn's as well (it's a struggle as I'm sure that you well know). I've had my colon missing since age 15 (age 40 now). I also am missing my gall bladder, appendix, 1/3 of my thyroid and parathyroid, and have one working kidney. I have had a portion of my abdominal wall removed as well. Stay strong guy, you can get by with Crohn's it's just rough.
@eat the rich I wished OP would come back to reply, probably the doctors made a new hole in his abdomen so it collects in an ostomy bag.
thanks i’ll note them down for my next hit
I’m pretty sure everyone knew about the kidney thing but my grandma was born with only one functioning kidney. The other one was literally an extremely underdeveloped Kidney. Literally looks like a kidney bean in X rays.
My father only has one kidney. It wasn't removed or something. He was born that way. And he still functions like every other human
I know someone who had four kidneys. She died. Not from the kidneys.
I knew someone who was born with 3... he donated one because he didn't really need it anyway
~ waves ~ A family member of mine was also born with only one kidney. It wasn't discovered until it got inflamed. That was really scary. She was already over 70 years old by then. Luckily she was cured and she's still going strong :-)
I have kinda 1,5 kindneys, one of them hasn't grown much since early childhood, never noticed any issues
Wow. My father only has one working testicle.
And he thought he was tough.
9:26 a group of three with only one doing the work; perfectly describes most of my group projects
Dude, do you know how many times scientists have incorrectly assumed people didn’t need parts of their body? EVERY body part is in your body for a reason, even if you don’t yet know it.
I recently had by gallbladder removed and I was 17 at the time, I feel normal but I do have some side effects like Diarrhea and makes it hard to digest fatty foods
I got my gallbladder out last year and yea I have issues with fatty foods and having to poop soon after I eat them.
When you really need to make your weight class
I feel ya bro XD
kevin pillar 😂😂
I’ve been living without a thyroid for two years now! My old one was riddled with cancer and so were about 30+ lymph nodes. But thanks to modern medicine I’m feeling better now than I have in the last 5 years! Thank you, medical science!
Do you have to get thyroid hormones and iodine from the doctor?
Yeah congrats
I also just literally had my thyroid removed last week. It sucks because i'm young but it was causing some problems so the doctors recommended removing it. Now i'm on meds for life
@@KaizCh hey I also had my thyroid removed due to cancer just about 3 weeks ago and I'm also quite young! I've also been taking T4 two years prior to that and it's really not a big deal you just have to adjast it to your daily routine. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
living without a thyroid is a ticking timebomb.. I have an overactive one I will not get rid of it. although vice versa it's a ticking time bomb
alternate title: organs you can sell without serious repercussions
This videos title and thumbnail is the perfect candidate for a meme
5:05 I was briefly SUPER concerned, but then I remembered that my mom's spleen was shattered when a seizure dumped her off a ladder from the second floor... 35 years ago. She's fine now.
I'm glad your mom is fine. That's pretty scary. When I got hit by a car, they had to check if my spleen was still intact, and it was! If something had happened to it I would be bummed because I'm so used to not getting sick, it would be so burdensome to have to worry about germs all the time.
I have spherocytosis so I have been living without a gallbladder or spleen for the past three years. I'm absolutely fine and it's honestly not that bad. My family has to make sure that I'm more careful about the germs that I'm exposed to because the Covid-19 pandemic but other than that it's, as I said before, not that bad.
I had a wood shop teacher in high school who had no stomach (thanks cancer!). He said he had to chew thoroughly and there were a few foods he had to avoid. He could also eyeball most measurements with alarming accuracy, usually to within the thickness of the pencil he was using (about 1/16th of an inch).
Are…are those two facts related?
So i can get superpowers without my stomach 😳
B12 is absorbed exclusively by the terminal ileum, part of the small intestine. However it cannot be absorbed without being bound to intrinsic factor, which is exclusively made in the stomach 🙂
7:00 : I got my gallbladder removed last year after years of pain because the gallstones becomes stuck and obstruct the canal used by the pancreas to send in the enzymes used in digestion. Basically the enzymes activates within the pancreas itself instead of the food. Causing excruciating pain.
that sounds terrible
That's one way to pay your student debts...
That's unfortunately illegal, other wise I would had already sold a kidney or part of my liver.
That's illegal?? What..
Selling your organs is. You can donate them but you can't make money for it.
Studying in Germany is nearly free but as I don't have a job and there is no point in getting a loan I live with my parents for possibly 4 years.
Organ black market is easier if it’s another person. For example your roommate, if he’s sleeping and you are fast and clean worker you should be able to do it incognito. I suggest removing half of the liver, put half of what you’ve removed to grow in vitro and sell the other half (or eat it, it tastes great with ketchup/bbq sauce). And you also need his blood type for customer satisfaction.
Just kidding don’t do that.
So you can live without half your brain, one lung, one kidney, your gallbladder, your stomach, your thyroid (wasn't mentioned in the video but I don't have mine), spleen, and half your liver. Now the question stands, could you be missing all these things and still be a functional human?
Also without a colon and appendix
add pancreas to the list.... you would however be Type 1 Diabetic and need to take regular injections...
@@kingjezza6567 And Tonsils.
And eyes
@@mrbeast5740 you can live without skin, for like one second
nice to know what organs i can sell when i need some extra cash. Thanks SciShow!
sold all 7, still alive..
When the liver has grown back, can you donate it again? Can you be like a liver farm? That should be a really well paying job.
I imagine that well wear you down after a while
You just gave horror film producers a new movie idea
Nope. It would be cheaper to just keep abducting people and using ALL their available organs. Roll up to Home Depot in a pickup, say you need workers, then drive them out into the desert and shackle and transport them.
Fredrik Åfeldt Umm I don’t think you can have surgery that many times in the same spot. You would have a lot of scar tissue
They did a video on that ;)
My grandpa lived into his 60's with less than one lung. He got mustard-gassed in WW1.
That must've been extremely painful
That mustard hurt lol
Man mustard sucks, even in gas form it sucks
Ugh mustard gas was probably one of the worst chemical warfare agents ugh 😫 humans do some crappy things to each other.
@@vk0u532 Half the lungs half the pain
If I sell them, I can live and buy myself a butterfly sapphire in CS GO
I was thinking of buying a gaming setup. Thanks for the wisdom.
