=== Ordinary organs that require Organ Manipulation ===

These organs are present in every normal human, and can be removed or transferred through the [[#Organ_Manipulation|Organ Manipulation]] surgery type.

==== Brain [[File:Brain.png|Brain]][[File:Alien_brain.png|Alien brain]] ====

The source of consciousness, and where the player actually resides. Removing the brain from a body will make it unclonable through normal means. The brain can also be inserted into an [[MMI]] to allow it to speak, and to prepare it to be inserted into a [[Cyborg]] or an [[AI]]. Or it can be transferred into another body, which can then be cloned or defibrillated with the new host.

[[Changeling]]s' brains are vestigial, and they can survive without them. Beheading a changeling will not prevent one from reviving.

'''Note:''' Brains can also be removed by beheading the target and using a sharp object on the head to extract the brain.

'''Note:''' There's also a non-surgery method to put a brain back in:

Step 1: [[File:OpTable.gif|Operating Table]] Place the patient onto the operating table.

Step 2: [[File:Brain.png|Brain]] Cram their brain back into their skull.

Step 3: [[File:Clone.gif|Cloning Pod]] Usually, you take the body to be cloned.


==== Heart [[File:Heart.png]] ====

Required for basic survival, removing it will cause a heart attack, dealing huge amounts of oxygen damage until a new, beating, heart is inserted, or death. This can be delayed with [[epinephrine]], if you need more time.

On their own, hearts only beat for a short time when removed from a living body. To get a heart beating again, click on it while it's in your hand.

Heart attacks can also be induced by [[Initropidril]], and a heart attack may continue if you insert a still heart in a patient. In either case, to restore the heart to normal functionality, the patient needs to either be defibrillated or receive an electric shock.

==== Eyes [[File:Eyes.png]] ====

They're required for sight. Removing them will, obviously, turn the patient blind. Some races' eyes can see in the dark.

==== Ears[[File:Ears.png]] ====

Required for hearing. Removing them will make the patient deaf. 

[[File:Hud_target_head.gif]] '''Target: Head'''


==== Liver [[File:Liver_organ.png]] ====

Required for processing [[Guide_to_chemistry|reagents]]. Removing the liver will cause the patient to take heavy toxin damage. 

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''


==== Lungs [[File:Lungs.png]] ====

Required for breathing. Removing the lungs will cause the patient to suffocate, regardless of air or internals. Some [[Guide_to_races|species]] have mutant lungs that don't need air: transplanting them onto an breathing race will transfer this property.

==== Stomach [[File:Stomach_organ.png]] ====

Required for digesting food. 

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''


==== Tongue [[File:Tongue.png]] [[File:Ltongue.png]] ====

Affects speech. Lacking a tongue will make speech very hard to comprehend, while mutant tongues such as lizards' or flypeoples' will give the patient the race's speech quirks. [[Abductor]]s' tongues carry over their telepathy, but they prevent normal speech.

==== Appendix [[File:Appendix.png|Appendix]][[File:Appendix_inflamed.png|Inflamed appendix]] ====

Removing it cures appendicitis and prevents it in the future, too.
