Last one for now. The stomach gets a new lining every three to four days. If you didn't, the strong acids your stomach uses to digest food would also digest your stomach.
You Could Remove A Large Part of Your Internal Organs and Survive
While the human body may appear fragile, your body is stronger than you could possibly imagine. It is possible for you to survive even after the removal of the spleen, the stomach, one kidney, one lung, 75% of the liver, 80% of the intestines, and almost every organ from the pelvic and groin area.
If a person holds their arms out laterally, the measurement from
the tip of one middle finger to the other will be equal to their height.
Actually, the ratio of height to "wingspan" is called Ape Index, and a Positive Ape Index (longer arms than height) may be beneficial to rock climbers. Ape index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think the Jackass crew has proven how much abuse a body can actually take.
The cornea is the only part of the human body that has no blood supply. It takes in oxygen directly from the air.
Omgosh, does it die a little every night when you sleep with your eyes closed? Maybe that's why Indians have great vision... I always heard they slept with one eye open.

I might be able to live after having almost every organ from groin area removed, but the person who removed (or tried to) will not survive!
