    I saw a special one time on the History Channel about capital punishment. The mentioned the fellow who blinked for 10 seconds, and also a woman who blushed after her face was slapped. I would believe the condemned has a few moments of conciousness after the head is severed, before the blood supply is lost.

    There was a test done and the executed was told that after his head is severed to blink until he couldn't. He blinked for 10 seconds.

    If a woman is to face her execution on a guillotine, she would have been erotically aroused as her neck is bared, and then stimulated further when she feels the stocks (or rather 'lunettes') encircle the doom females sensuous 'stem'. Her eyes are widened as she suddenly hears the blade rolling down and it is only a second before the angled blade slices off her head! (Instantly, her head drops into the traditional whicker basket!) If she can still keep her eyes open for just a few moments more, her apparently living face can be seen by the baying crowd who are still tauting the woman's severed head as (following death) her eyes lower, and her jaw is allowed to drop as her executioner displays the executed woman's severed head!

    I didn't think that a person would be able to command their brain to send msgs after the beheading, I was wondering if the EYES OPENED upon being beheaded.

    keep eyes open of course! Neuro connectivity might allow the head to momentarily look back at the guillotine as it drops into the basket.

    I would think they would stay open, since the shock of seeing the blade coming down is the last thing you see.

    but you Don't do you, it is behind you...they have you kneel onto the neck slot & the blade comes down.
