Umbilical Chord

[fraserjim]

Would it be possible to attach life support through our umbilical chord(belly button) in adulthood

[darth vader]

many reasons why not but here's one - the capacity of blood and air needed by a baby is far far less than a human adult so if you attached yourself back to your mum you would kill her pretty quickly through strangulation or blood loss.

sorry the technical word is asphyxiation

No. afaik in an adult the belly-button is only a 'scar' with no attached bloodvessels for lifesupport. These start to be reabsorbed by the body as soon as one is born.
