Not at all. Your Nervous system is located within the Spinal cord. Tell him that we are not Jellyfish or plants!
Humans? No.
Why? Your muscles have to be attached to something. More importantly, your brain would be mushed up, and your spinal cord would be messed up in some really horroriffic ways....
Unless you were a special android. In that case, yes. Go ahead and live your marrowless life, you atonomaton!

I saw a Youtube video about a girl born without bones in her face. I'll let you do the search. Look for 'Girl' 'without' 'face'
It's pretty damn disturbing. So yeah you can live, but damn.

you would live for how ever long you can hold your breath. Because of the fact your lungs need your ribs to support them and help them stick to the wall of the ribs there is a fine layer that sticks your lungs to your ribs, but once you loose consciousness you have four minutes to live without blood flow to the brain.
"How long will a human brain survive without blood flow?
A maximum of 4 minutes (Oxford Handbook of Acute Medicine, 2004)"
so i give the average person 6mins

Um, I think that it would prove difficult, if impossible considering your bones protect some of the more delicate and vitals areas of your body like your heart, lungs, optic nerves, brain, and for women [especially pregnant women], the uterus and cervix.
Not strong enough, only could manage some body parts.Bulletinmybrain post=18.67046.647162 said:
no one's listed shark as the likely boneless candidate? I'm shocked truly.
oh and even if by some miracle of science your bones were replaced with a space alloy or plastic you still might die due to the fact that you need calcium for some vital functions and your bones are where you get it when you don't ingest enough. kinda like that genetic disorder where you can't regulate your copper and it starts to replace the calcium (I could be wrong but I think it's called Menks disease, 100% fatal too)
