Could todays advances in surgery and medical knowledge / hospital care be good enough to provide the treatment to save his life after the shots?

Nope, he lost a big chunk of his brain.

No.

Naw, not with that massive trauma.

Im gonna say no since he had a direct hit to the head

Since half of his brain was blown away, I think modern technology MAY have been able to keep him in a vegetative state, if that. I don’t think it’s likely though.

Probably not, as one of them was a head shot (as I recall). Brain matter can’t be replaced, nor repaired.

His brain was destroyed.
No

No his brains were blown out.
And if they did manage to save him he would be carrot.

I kind of doubt they would be able to put back the pieces of his brain that were dispersed (I was going to say “splattered”) in the limo and on his wife’s suit. They may have been able to keep him in a vegetative state.

No. If you read the gory details of the damage done to JFK’s skull and brain by bullets, you’ll see what I mean.

He did lose a big piece of his brain,but if they could save him, what quality of life would he have?

The head shot he suffered would still be hard to overcome today.
Oswald would be a different story, its possible he could have been saved using today’s technology. That would have made the conspiracy theory a lot different had he lived.

Well, they’d keep him alive for weeks while the courts wrangled over taking him off life support - but he’d never regain consciousness - far too much damage to the brain.

They certainly might have been able to keep him alive, but he would have been a vegetable.

If they were able to save him, he’d never have normal brain function. It’s probably best that he died as he did. Folks with extensive brain trauma face years of physical therapy just to do basic tasks.

only by cloning him.

probably not coz he was shoot on his head . and the videos clearly showed his head kind of ’scattering’.
maybe they could have slowed his death or could have recovered just his life with todays tech

Its doubtful.The wound was caused by h-powered rifle resulting in massive head trauma. However in todays society it would be difficult to duplicate the crime.

not unless there is a big gov. cover up to hide the fact that our scientists can now perform brain transplants. He took a rifle bullet to the head, nothing we have today can fix as much damage as he sustained.

No however it wouldnt have been able to happen today, presidents are not allowed to be driven in open air vehicles. the irony is that the new rule took place after JFK was shot.

They may be able to save his life but the big problem would be the quality of life he would be left with. He is better off where he is..being a vegatable would be hard for this vibrant man. He is missed.

He’s not dead.

Not to be cruel ,but if he did survive, he would not make a great president anymore due to massive injuries to head and brain. Which would mean that Lyndon Johnson would be sworn in as president anyway.
So any theory that he was directly responsible in someway can be thrown out the window.

I doubt it. The back of his head and most of his brain were shot off. Even if they could save his life, he’d probably be comatose and on life support - and that’s no way to live.

{This may be a little too conspiracy theory}, but I don’t think it would matter if they could, I still don’t think they would.

Maybe but what would be the use ……..they wanted him dead and they would do it again.

No, the tricorders haven’t been invented yet….

He was missing about 4 square inches of his skull, with an equal amount of brain missing. They might have saved his body, but his brain was going to be dead anyway.
