Human body growth in the absence of a brain

[QUOTE="PainterGuy, post: 6434652, member: 311618"] Thank you! Yes, though I just made it up, my description was close to 'anencephaly'. But those glands are not part of the organ called brain, right? Does this mean that in absence of brain and those glands, human growth or human baby cannot survive? Is survival possible? Source: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_death[/URL] Is brain needed for the involuntary activity? I believe heart beating and functioning of lungs are involuntary activities. I was under the impression that even when brain is completely dead, one can survive in vegetative state. I knew an elderly person who slipped into coma and later doctors declared that there was no brain activity of any sort, but that person kept on breathing in the vegetative state for some years.
