No, a human couldn't live without a brain because the brain controls everything in your body, so it tells your heart to beat, feet to move, eyes to blink, mouth to open, teeth to chew. If you don't have your brain to tell your heart to beat, your heart cannot pump blood. So your body really can't live.
Infants with anencephaly are born without the front part of the brain, (forebrain) and the thinking and coordinating part of the brain (cerebral hemispheres and cerebellum). Most of the time the remaining brain tissue may be exposed, without skull or scalp to cover and protect it. Although reflex actions such as breathing and responses to touch or sound may occur, gaining consciousness is not possible. Usually infants with anencephaly do not survive more than a few days or weeks.
