You'll be surprised as to how much you could lose and still live. You can still have a fairly normal life without one of your lungs, a kidney, your spleen, appendix, gall bladder, adenoids, tonsils, plus some of your lymph nodes, the fibula bones from each leg and six of your ribs.
Useless body parts include the appendix, the tail bone, and the muscle fibers that produce goose bumps.
As a living donor, you may be able to donate: one of your kidneys, one liver lobe, a lung or part of the lung, part of the pancreas, or part of the intestines.
Anyone over age 18 may choose to donate their brain after death. A legal guardian must provide consent for those younger than 18. This includes people who have a brain disorder and those with healthy brains. In fact, both are needed for this important research.
Food. Food is the basic source of energy and one of the most immediate requirements for day to day survival.
Some scientists believe that within the next few decades, it could be possible for humans to live 1,000 years or more. Normally, as time passes, our cells undergo changes: Our DNA mutates, cells stop dividing, and harmful junk—by-products of cellular activity—builds up. All these processes together cause us to age.
In terms of the essentials, there are a few which can't be overlooked — air, water, food, sleep, and shelter.

Vestigial organs are parts of the body that once had a function but are now more-or-less useless. Probably the most famous example is … the appendix, though it is now an open question whether the appendix is really vestigial.

The forehead and fingertips are the most sensitive parts to pain, according to the first map created by scientists of how the ability to feel pain varies across the human body.
It's well known that a comatose brain can be kept alive for at least decades. That is the case with brain-dead people whose families elect to keep them attached to ventilating machines. Less well explored are artificial means of maintaining a brain wholly separated from its body.
The brain is the only organ in the human body that cannot be transplanted. The brain cannot be transplanted because the brain's nerve tissue does not heal after transplantation.
People who smoke can be donors, but we ask that you stop smoking for your own safety, even if it means delaying the surgery. By giving up smoking, you decrease the risks of going under anesthesia and of post-surgery complications.
The brain has no nociceptors – the nerves that detect damage or threat of damage to our body and signal this to the spinal cord and brain.
