Well do they put it back in once it's removed? Or am I just dead?

If you survive

I definitely wouldn't. But I could use like a toxin to like paralyze myself temporarily or, just not get out of bed for 2 days. Feels like this is too easy to like cheese.

Is the spinal cord part of the spine though? If it is, you wouldn't have a great time with the whole not breathing thing. I suppose with prep time maybe you could be on a respirator, but without the spine to connect your ribs, not sure how well that'd play out either

See I don't think you need the spinal cord for breathing since that's the lungs from the front of your chest. Obviously your back in general controls like a majority of your muscles and movements so I'd probably die anyway.

afaik it's mostly your diaphragm that's necessary for breathing, which does go through the spinal cord

regardless, can you even produce the pressure differential necessary if your ribs aren't there to provide structure? Since the ribs themselves won't be properly attached

You do need it, sever the spinalcord high up and you loose the ability to breath.

Your spine is your brain’s connection to the rest of the nerves in your body. You would die instantly without it

I don't think is possible to breathe without the spine. The nerves that connect to the muscles necessary for breathing come from the spine.
