No no no. You can't preserve them, though I do like your dedication to the job. The goal is to see how much of them you can hack off before they bleed out. Stopping the bleeding is cheating. You start with the ears, the nose, the teeth, the lips, and the eyes. Then you move on to fingers and toes, then limbs. The lips and eyes are tricky because I've had shots to those areas accidentally destroy the brain. Best to use bites for those parts.
