    Is this true? And is it also true someone who gets their head chopped off can actually see for a limited time?

    Imagine having your head chopped off and then you being aware that you are nothing but a little head, seperate from anything else and possibly even seeing your own body without its head

    Blood loss happens immediately, with loss of consciousness rapidly following. While the brain might have some limited activity as it dies, I really doubt that you could be conscious for 3 seconds, much less 13. You might be unconscious for 13.

    I’ve heard about a decapitated head once reciting Byron for a full 10 minutes before the audience cut its jugular - at which point it gurgled Bach, just to spite them.

    I'm getting my head cryogenically frozen, so in the future my head can be stuck on a robot body.

    Actually that is a lie, but I would consider it if it was FREE rather than costing £80,000.

    It takes 4 minutes for the brain to die when not connected to the body, so mostly it can be caused by nerves, i suspect it is possible to re-attach a head to a body though limits in technology and skill do not allow it, and even if they did you only have 4 minutes to re-connect the brain stem.
    It would be good to hear about an attempt, though they would keep it secret if it went wrong.

    Would it really matter how long your conscious. Your only thinking holy krap that stings anyway. Maybe enough time to pray to a god or two. Secure a place in afterlife at last minute type situation.

    Stop the bullshit and cite your scientific researched sources. Else all else is just gossip and hearsay.
