Probably not. The organs and tissues of the body require bones to anchor them, and the bone marrow is the source of most red blood cells. The vertebrae protect the spinal column which operates the nervous system, and the skull protects the brain.

You need either your skeleton or some really advanced structures to replace it.

All of the bones in the skeletal system are important because they protect your body, like an inner shield. The bone I've seen most people live without is the mandible, or jaw bone. However, they cannot eat solid foods without it. No one can live without the ribs, they protect some of our most vital organs. One puncture to the chest and we'd be dead. However, we can live with one rib missing from each side of the rib cage, with none or little harm to the body.

Yes you do.

Bones, among other things, protect our organs.

Also, when you breathe, you expand your chest to create a partial vacuum, which pulls air into the lungs. If you had no bones, you'd have no way to expand your chest. So you'd suffocate.

Plus, you'd look awfully stupid as just a pile of meat and skin. ;)

Yes, but It'll rip up any organ that it goes through.
