It can all be removed and a person can live. It is best to avoid short bowel syndrome however by not having more than 1/3 to 1/2 removed. If it is entirely removed, a cholostemy (?) bag is used instead.
When the large intestine is removed (total colectomy), the surgeon may create an ileostomy or colostomy to redirect stool to a stoma on the abdomen. This pouch collects waste, and the individual will need to wear a bag to collect the stool. Without the large intestine, digestion and absorption of water and nutrients may be affected, leading to changes in bowel movements and dietary requirements.
Appendix is a small organ in our digestive system in which our science today does not have justification of its function yet. We can live normally without our appendix.
In the general abdominal cavity: stomach, small intestine, large intestine, spleen, live, gallbladder. In the retroperitoneal area of the abdominal cavity, pancreas, kidneys, and adrenal glands.
A human can live with one lung, one kidney, without a spleen, appendix, uterus, testicles, ovaries. Recently a young girl in Tennessee lived three months without a heart. It was replaced by a machine outside of her body.
Yes, humans have a cecum, which is a pouch-like structure located at the beginning of the large intestine. It plays a role in the digestion of plant-based foods and the absorption of certain nutrients.
You can't.

you can live without your bladder lungs small intestine
If you mean, "can you live without your large intestine?" then yes, you can. One must wear a Colostomy bag to collect the waste that leaves the small intestine. The large intestine also plays a small role in reabsorbing water and ions, so one would have to make sure they are not getting dehydrated or experiencing symptoms of low ion concentrations. If you mean "with only small intestine -- no stomach, etc.", then no, you cannot.
You may not be able to absorb as many nutrients, as you would have.The small intestine is responsible for the majority of absorption of nutrients. The specific effects of removing half depends on which part is removed. The small intestine is considered to be of 3 parts, the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. Losing the jejunum would be particularly disastrous, but losing any half would run you a serious risk of malnutrition.Other than a shortened digestive process in general (such as less time to absorb fats or water), absorption is generally section-specific. Most absorption occurs in the jejunum, which makes up most of the first half of the small intestine. (Exceptions to this are Iron and B12).
If a child is born without a large intestine it cannot live obviously, where else would it's waste be transported through?

Nope, not a chance
The small intestine absorbs nutrients and the large intestine absorbs water and left over nutrients.
The gallbladder is not essential for survival; it plays a role in storing bile, which helps digest fats. If it's removed, the liver still produces bile, but it flows directly into the small intestine. Most people can live without a gallbladder, though they may need to adjust their diet to manage fat digestion.
You can live without the appendix, as it doesn't have a crucial function in digestion. Additionally, it is possible to survive without the gallbladder, as bile can still flow directly from the liver to the small intestine.
how ever long god wants them to live. god can do miracles and we have to believe in them
