-- Posted by spaCemonKeymAfia at 4:59 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 hahaha the "serious" forum. i guess.. anyways, question. if say a man was strong enough to survive any physical pain placed in front of him or whatever set before him.. yknow. could someone live long enough to carve their heart out of their chest and place it in front of them before they died? be "serious" please. :]] -- Posted by ManiacPenguins at 5:00 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 No. The heart would stop pumping blood to muscles. You could get to it, and start cutting it probably, but you'd be done before it was out of the body. -- Posted by greatescape at 1:01 pm on Dec. 11, 2008 I would think that they would die of blood loss first, but i suppose if they really knew what they were doing it could be possible. The body can continue functioning for a little while after the heart stops before the brain stops functioning.
