Is it true if you get your head chopped off its still alive for a second or two?!


Question: Is it true if you get your head chopped off its still alive for a second or two.?
Answers:
Yes, well documented. In fact Antoine Lavoisier proved this by blinking in code after his beheading. An account from a Dr Beaurieux, of an execution by guillotine states that 5-6 seconds after the event the lips and eyelids worked with "irregular rhythmic contractions". After this, the eyes opened and rolled back. Calling the victim's name caused the eyes to move back into position and focus on the doctor and then go back to how it was. Calling a second time had a similar effect, a third call had no effect. The whole account describes 25-30 seconds of events.Health Question & Answer

I would imagine so. You would not be aware of this. Your body itself would take a little time for the organs to shut down without having the brain and lack of oxygen from being beheaded. I imagine that the brain would take a few to shutdown and fire off it's last few nerve endings before completely dying.Health Question & Answer
