Редактирование: Artificial organs (раздел)

== Is it possible to keep the brain alive with a module body with artificial or natural organs? ==
In paper https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23136216/ only 17% of patients on ECMO and with acute kidney injury survived for 3 months. <br/>
So even bad functioning (not full failure) of just two systems (lungs, kidneys) is so critical and not manageable with current technologies (though the paper was published in 2013 so maybe situation is better somewhat now).  <br/>
... on the other hand, in the paper they kept all the body alive. What if we have to keep alive just head? That must have its advantages. Head weight is small (though head cconsumes ~20% energy of body). <br/>

To the best of my knowledge, I would argue that there is no combination of devices that could support life for considerable time in the case of multi-organ failure.
However, if (1) we need to support just head and not the whole body, (2) we can buy new donor blood from time to time (may be even every day) then perhaps they would success? Needs further analysis.
