that's a funny question, but i take it as my business to answer it- you would not continue to live. the medulla oblongata of the brain controls involuntary functions of the body, like respiration and heart beat. in absence of the brain, your system would malfunction and you would die.

in the absence of spinal cord, the reflexes of your body would slow down considerably, as the impulse would take longer time to be processed. for example, you would realize that the thing you are touching is hot after your finger tissues are burnt or something like that. in the absence of both, survival is impossible:)

If you remove the spinal cord from your body you would die because your circulatory system would be cut off and you need that to live.
