No you could not, because each organ is important to the human body.

You can live without a functional liver, but then you have to go through dialysis. And you can live even if you have an entire lung removed. The spleen can be removed if it's damaged and you'd still live. However, people without a spleen are more prone to infections.
Also, women can have their uterus removed in a hysterectomy as a treatment for cancer, or other reasons.
But of course, you'd need your heart, brain, at least one lung and one kidney to survive.

How does diploidy help to preserve genetic variation? see concept 23.4 (page 498)?
mario62 [17]
Monoploid organisms reproduce asexually since they need to transmit all of their genetic material to their offspring. Diploid organisms, have 2 copies of their genetic material that differ slightly in their genes. Since the progeny gets half of the DNA from each parent, we have that new combinations can emerge; for example, if the mother is AA for some allele and the father aa, their offspring will be Aa, a new genotype. This might have different implications (for example, the recessive gene for thalassemia also provides resistance to malaria). Finally, during meiosis, there is also an event called crossover that increases the genetic variation of the offspring.
