Re: 7 Beheaded, 8 According to Someone [Mexico, 29 July 2012]
the french did some half ass studies in the early 1900s when they guillotined people... but no matter how long you maybe conscious for after getting your head cut off - these guys arent cutting them clean and take a few minutes from insertion of the dull knife to completion

Re: 7 Beheaded, 8 According to Someone [Mexico, 29 July 2012]
if they are getting beheaded via a traditional means (knife, machete, blade of some sort), after they start cutting the neck, before they finish complete removal of the head, the person is already bled out and pulseless. No blood and oxygen to the brain.. Brain ceases to function.. In theory: If the head is cut of in one swift swipe of a sword blade or guillotine (less than a second), the brain is still "temporarily" oxygenated and can maintain some cranial nerve functions of the face, sight, and hearing.. Even after clinical death, you can see the deep tendon reflexes when the person beheading is striking the cervical vertebrae and hitting the spinal chord, causing the victim to spasm or move when the knife hits the spinal chord. |

Re: 7 Beheaded, 8 According to Someone [Mexico, 29 July 2012]
The french asked questions of the severed heads that could be answered by blinking. The people being executed agreed to this in advance with the doctors. They got legitimate responses up to 40 seconds after separation though there is some debate because the only response the head could give was blinking and some claim it was just twitching that coincidentally synced with the questions. I suspect there is a period of consciousness after the head is separated but I don't care about it enough to try it. It's also true that both Mexican Cartels and Muslim terrorists saw the head off slowly with a rusty knife and often take several minutes to do it so for them it is a moot point. |
