      Spleen or appendix, although it is probably best to keep them if you can

      Spleen, but i think the system is much better with it than without

      Tonsils….again you can leave without them but better to have them for your immunosystems…..

      You can live with just one kidney, without your spleen, appendix, eyes, tonsils, you can also have some of your lung removed and still live, gall bladder can be removed! Our body is very good at adpating is any of these things need to be taken out.
