A person cannot live without a healthy liver, because of the contributions of the organ to digestion and to cleansing the blood.
But an adult with a failed liver can survive (under extensive medical care) for a day or two, possibly as long as 3 days, before a transplant becomes necessary. (In some cases, a partial transplant may be used to allow a damaged liver to regenerate.)
