If a cell were to be artificially cut in half it would not survive. Cutting a cell would mean breaking the cell membrane. A typical cell cannot survive without the membrane.

However, in nature, there is a process called cell division where there is a natural division of cells to half its volume, thus creating two cells from the parent cell. This type of division results in living cells.

Do maggots die if you cut them in half?

Maggots do not necessarily die if cut in half. While the front half may continue to move for a short time due to nerve activity, it is unlikely to survive long-term as it would lack essential organs. The rear half generally does not have the capability to survive independently. Overall, cutting a maggot in half is typically fatal for both halves.

Can you cut a annelid in half and will it live?

Cutting an annelid, like a earthworm, in half does not guarantee that both halves will survive. The anterior (front) half may survive if it contains vital organs, while the posterior (back) half typically does not have the necessary structures to sustain life. In some species, if a small enough portion is left, the worm can regenerate, but this varies by species and the extent of the cut. Generally, the survival of an annelid after being cut in half is unlikely.

Can a human survive being cut in half at the waist?

I'm not a doc, but the question is too spectacular to ignore. My guess is that a person could survive this if it's done as a surgical procedure, but if it happens in an accident, the person would bleed out and die in a few moments-- long before any effective help could arrive.
