    I once talked to a Surgeon who said it might be possible to survive a chest bursting if the patient came under medical attention right away - though of cause it would depend on exactly how much damage was done to vital organs in the process.
    But he did say that he believed that Kane could have been saved (going on only what he could perceive the damage to be in the movie).
    He also believed that Kanes heart was undamaged since the blood kept flowing after the chest bursting had happened - such a delightful dinner conversation :D

      If only they would showcase someone that does just that in a future film: someone unfortunate enough to go through a chestbursting episode, but still fortunate enough that they were recovered at just the right time and they miraculously survived because they were given medical care at just the right moment.

    i was thinking maybe a small electric shock to stop the persons heart might make the facehugger drop off for a second tricking it into thinking somebody died,similar to the stargate atlantis episode with the iratus bug

      in alien 3 embrion queen chest-burst not fully grown . somewhere someone said that alien embrion can feel stress like its host and i assume can feel other things.
      trying to kill host may result in premature chest bursting.

      I believe they did exactly that in Stargate Atlantis when a similar parasite that could not be removed caught one of the characters. They "killed" the victim, the parasite fell off, and they were able to revive the patient.

  • @covenantslayer1
    @covenantslayer1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +169

    Actually I think the reason that doctor in Colonial Marines said it was impossible to remove the Chestbuster from Bella without killing her was because of how late into the gestation period the Alien was in. So the placenta growing around it was a defense mechanism it had to keep it from being removed that soon. So really the chance of surviving the procedure depends on when it's done.

    • @jamallabarge2665
      @jamallabarge2665 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      A placenta would cause other problems - there is no womb to interact with said placenta.
      As I recall the embryo in one of the novelizations grew a vein and artery to use blood for nutrients. This is limiting because the blood only carries so much nutrients.

    • @LordCommander-ui2fw
      @LordCommander-ui2fw 3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      One treatment for the cancerous placenta could be found in nanotechnology. Perhaps a nanite solution, programmed to seek out and eliminate the foreign cells, could purge the placenta from the organs the embryo has attached itself to and allow for a relatively safe surgical removal of the chestburster.

    • @jamallabarge2665

    In my humble opinion, if Ripley took Weyland-Yutani up on their offer in Alien 3, I believe they would have killed her the second she let her guard down with them, took the xenomorph baby out of her body, and would have done God-knows-what with it.

    • @mountaindewslave
      @mountaindewslave 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      seems a tiny bit risky, unless you're implying they knew it was just about to burst. And in one of the cuts of the film the alien is shown bursting out of her chest right as she's landing in the lava I believe, so she realistically would be dead regardless (I don't think they would have rushed her to some sort of medical safety machine in a minute's time)

  • @generalbutterscotch4887
    @generalbutterscotch4887 4 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    A theory i've always had on how to safely remove an embryo is to perform surgery on the chest while the facehugger is still attached. Not bothering to remove the parasite itself but instead scanning and monitoring the implantation process step by step and swiftly removing any signs of a forming embryo before it's had a chance to grow into much more than a tiny pulsating tumour
    This in tern could in theory bypass the normal "dead man's switch" defense of the facehugger by tricking it into thinking that it was still able to do its job and eventually detach and die like normal, since as far as it was concerned, the implantation was a success
    (and even if it was aware of the death of the embryo, there's nothing it could do about it since it already used up it's energy the first time, so it would still die shortly after the surgery anyway)

      As you may or may not be aware, in the original script for Prometheus, it was a chestburster which broke out of Shaw while she was in the pod. The medical pod repaired the damage as it was being done by the emerging alien which crawled away. Shaw did survive this procedure. Of course this version was not the final script but I still thinks it's worth noting. If you haven't read it, a quick google search will turn it up.

    Topic suggestion: "How dangeorus is the Xenomorph's acidic body fluid?"
    We know it reacts very aggressively against metals and rock but in Aliens after Gorman's recovery Bishop commented that the acid is not that harmful to humans and it serves more to paralyze the victim than kill it, obviously so that the body can be used by the Xenomorphs. Gorman recovered and appeared to be fine and commented that it feels like a hangover but he was capable of fighting shortly after.
    This begs the question is the blood of the Facehugger or the adult Xenomprh is of different makeup? As a facehugger's blood should be more about self defense to protect against removal by damaging the host or the area while implantation. While a drone's blood would be more inclined to paralyze the victim in case it fights back so that the victim could be recovered and used for reproduction.

    With proper technology, the embryo could be removed safely but not the placenta. In Alien Resurrection, they could safely remove it all, somehow. If the expanded universe can still be seen as possible canon, I'd bet there would be other ways to safely remove the chestburster before full maturation.
    I do have a question about this process... since during the embryo development, both the host and alien are being in somekind of symbiote relationship. If a safe removal occurs of embryo and the placenta, and the host is in good state, would the host retain some sort of "xeno dna" inside him/her? Would it be possible that the xenos see the "safe host" in other ways and not being able for another impregnation? That would be a marvelous defense against the xenos if that would work! They'd see you as their own, somewhat!
    Thoughts?

      Yep, which is why I specified that it would be some futuristic equivalent in terms of general acid resistance, and not a carbide itself. Also the material required would be largely dependent on the actual compounds in the xeno's blood composition. For example, one could hypothesize that it contains fluorosulfonic or pentafluoride compounds, which would react with silicon and therefore render ceramic tools unusable.

    Surgery is fundamentally a reversal of entropy, in theory any surgery can be performed with techniques which are efficient and precise enough. That said some surgical procedures maybe unfeasible and/or impossible with given resources (technology, medication, expertise). Point is a chest burted could likely be extracted safely, but it is also likely to be a complex and difficult procedure.

    No; if the Original Ridley went thru the procedure, even wth the best pro-team of Ridley Weyland Yutani surgeons on her l, she would of died before removal or even at the point of removal; the cloned Ripley had much more superior DNA of the Xeno and could heal faster-that surgical cut healed in 3 days or less w.e it was Wolverine style, and further it being a queen and could prob release a poison release in her body upon removal disturbance like a land mine

    @BiohazardJokerCZ 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    At the beginning, feel absolutely free to correct me in anything ;)
    Depending on how much time it takes for an embryo to be laid in a ribcage and subsequent dying of the facehugger. If the time span is like: Facehugger sends embryo in the host and dies immediately after, then it could be possible to start operating then and there and remove the embryo before it starts creating the "cancer" placenta cells. If the facehugger waits for the embryo to grow a bit before it dies however, it might be trickier.
    I don't know of any recorded case of the behaviour, which means watching a facehugger and his embryo simultaneously from the phase of facehugging to the phase of chestbursting. Kane might have had the facehugger attached to him a long time or a short time, it is never said. Just like with every other person.
    So if the case is: facehugger dies at the point of no return for a host, then it really is a perfect organism.

    • @zeratul____1228
      @zeratul____1228 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Chances are that during the facehugging process its already began spreading the cancer cells while its still attached to ensure the embryo is rooted inside the host

      Even if it wraps its tail around a neck or limb it is still strong enough to lock the legs around your face and sedate you. In aliens it took 3 marines to pry one off of Ripley. In AVPR the homeless guy trys to fight one off but gets latched on

    Firstly, I love your videos! They are the best and your voice is the best and your storylines everything is the best! As to whether someone could survive having the alien embryo removed I'm going to say no because the way it attaches itself to the face and the neck that ensures that it can't be removed until implantation is complete. So at that stage when the facehugger falls off the embryo is already a part of the body and can only be removed by killing the individual. And those are my 2 cents!

  • @ChaosPhantasm2000
    @ChaosPhantasm2000 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Some of the expanded universe material that depict Chestburster removal usually results in the host suffering from cancer as a side effect. Removal of the Chestburster in that way is like a double edged sword. Perhaps during removal, depending on the host and the steps taken after removal, the host can stave off theses cancerous tumors and live a normal life with the body reconstructing the chest cavity.

  • @brenntantor1634
    @brenntantor1634 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    LOL How about just having FIVE people using both of their hands to peel off the facehugger's appendages! That way there is nothing it can do to enforce it's grip! Use strong men with strong hands! Problem solved! At least in the removal of the facehugger! I mean, Ripley overpowered the facehugger's tail with two hands while dealing with it's legs! Men would be capable of more! In the end, it can just be thrown in a large basket and experimented upon!
    Like making it impregnate animals! Like a King Cheetah, a Red Kangaroo, or a Komodo Dragon!

    • @rjtheripper931
      @rjtheripper931 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Don't you realize that facehuggers are genetically programmed to get that alien embryo into a person no matter what people try to do. their grip is extremely strong and nothing can get them off without killing the person in the process. they insert a probusicious tube into the victims wind pipe and attempts to remove it could damage the victims breathe and would result in death

    • @TheShockwaveDragon
      @TheShockwaveDragon 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Based on my interpretation of the corner's autopsy reports at 1:34, it doesn't look like you're intended to survive regardless of whether you try and remove it somehow.
      A blood panel is a series of blood tests run on a patient/test subject to check and see what is or is not present in the blood, and at what concentrations (if any); normally it's used to detect the presence of cancer in the body, organ failure, infection, or if someone has been poisoned, either purposefully or accidentally.
      The final line of the report in layman's terms says "Based on the blood tests we ran on the dead person, it's possible this Facehugger realized it was going to be removed, because we detected that it dumped a huge amount of toxins into the victim's body after we started the removal process, possibly with the aim of poisoning the victim to death. A combination of that, and Traumatic Shock (I'm assuming severe acid burns from the facehugger being cut open while still attached to his head) caused the patient to suffer a Myocardial Infarction [a heart attack] and die."
      If a facehugger deliberately sabotages a victim by poisoning the living shit out him/her as an anti-tampering fail-safe measure to kill them even if they aren't impregnated, then it would most likely definitely mean it would decide to kill the host if you tried to pull it off, unless maybe you somehow figured out how to rip it off in one piece instantly.

Tequila is freezed on a stasis pod with the promise of a future removal. Maybe it's just a lie, as it would be the removal of the queen in Alien3. I personally stick with the idea presented in Alien:Colonial Marines, as it presents the creature and it's development as what it was originally planned, a weapon.

We don't think it is in the lungs per se but more in the pleural membrane in between the lungs. Also same question for a queen. In the third book ripely figures it's in her abd due to size, but then how does it survive living in the intenstines? Thank you!!!

  • @christianyaerger1751
    @christianyaerger1751 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Even if they're able to remove the Facehugger during implantation, I suspect it keeps the host in a chemically induced coma which paralyses their pulmonary system, with the Facehugger itself acts as a ventilator. After implantation is successful, the Facehugger would then deliver a chemical resuscitation cocktail before crawling away to die. Removal of the Facehugger during the implantation phase would therefor lead to the host suffocating.
