Yes, the autonomic system, keeping heart and lungs working can still keep running, even if the cerebral cortex is completely gone.
The autonomic system is deep in the brain, and is the ladt to go, normally.
ETA: at the point there is no higher brain function (stimulus to light, sound, pain) "You" are essentially dead, but the body can continue to function, since a basic thing is to keep going.
The autonomic systems really will keep going, provided oxygen and food.
Sometimes for years.

No, for our Sun-like stars, iron is their eventual death.

It's more they make up absolutely fake 'outrage' to distract attention from their asinine 'policies'.

Oh, well, Elon wants to sell sex-bots, but would rather pay-rape flight attendants to have his babies.
But shit, there are already technical sex-bots, for men and women, WAY cheaper than this thing!
Hell, I might be interested, if it enen mildly resembled the dancer from last year lol!

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Can i use 3 in 1 brand all temp fluid to lubricate drill bits when drilling (steel?) hinges? by drummerene
Any metal cutting job benefits from lube, tap magic, 3-1 oil, hell, even Crisco or Astroglide.
Lube is not only for the cutting edge, but helps the flutes on a stupid 0.54$ drill bit clear the cuttings.

This is a pathetic attempt at more Muskovite Hype.
Humanoid robots have literally no place in any industry. We have thousands of robots, and transporters, that do things better, quicker, more reliably, and faster than something that walks slower than a toddler.
Robots currently transport, move, weld, inspect, and perform far better than any Musk Stock Pump. And always will.

The body can go for years, if fed, and sometimes with pumped O2, even with no higher brain functions available.
