If you mean losing your entire liver/kidneys/lungs, you will die very quickly. They are there for a reason and serve vital roles in keeping us alive. However: * even though your liver carries out 500 important processes, including the de-toxifying of food, manufacturing of bile, and storage of carbohydrates, it is the largest internal organ. It is well known that you can still survive, even if you lose 80% of your liver. (this figure may need clarification though). What's left of your liver will then grow back. * If you donate/lose a kidney, the other one will grow to compensate the loss of the other. Therefore, you can easily survive on just the single kidney, and thousands of people are at the moment. * I have never heard of any cases where someone can live with just the one lung, though. I may be wrong, but I'm sure you need both to survive.
