Organindependence
Organindependence is a hypothetical concept describing a state where individual organs within a multicellular organism could function autonomously, independent of the main body's physiological control. This implies a scenario where an organ, such as a heart or a liver, could survive and operate outside of its normal bodily context, perhaps sustained by an external life support system or possessing a self-contained ability to maintain its functions. The idea explores the theoretical limits of biological autonomy and the complex interdependence of organ systems in living beings.
The concept of organindependence is largely speculative and draws from advanced biological and medical research, particularly
This theoretical framework raises profound philosophical and ethical questions about life, consciousness, and the definition of
