    Waterbenders (or at least Kinto) can manipulate the water inside of the stomach to cause pain. So if a Waterbender were to try and lift a person, it would hurt them a lot and kill them. But since Kinto is most likely unofficial to the series, it is still unknown if Waterbenders can manipulate water within the human body.

    Besides having been stated often, and confirmed, we've actually seen it in action when Katara draws the water out of Aang's lungs to keep him from drowning, in "Warriors of Kyoshi".

    That was different, though. The water just went into his lungs, so she easily removed it via the mouth. It's a bit harder to manipulate water when it's still inside the person.
    but it has been confirmed that it could be done

    I imagine that if you took all the water in the human body and lifted it upwards, while all the non-water in the body was pulling downward thanks to gravity...

    It would be bad, needless to say.

    Has anyone ever heard of a condition called "the bends"? It usually plagues divers and its caused when divers dive too deep underwater. The inert gases in one's tissues and body fluids come out of solution too quickly and form bubbles within the body, usually in the joints like the shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles. These bubbles are especially uncomfortable and usually also painful and can result in rashes, sensory system failure, paralysis, and sometimes death. If that happens just by a drop in pressure, just think what would happen if the water molecules in one's body were manipulated in every which way.
    It also happens when you stay down at a deep water level and come up to fast. I know someone who had to be put in a recompression chamber?? because of that. And UGamer08 why did you think I was going to say that?

    It was pretty obvious, or predictable, one of those.??The pattern is- you say something slightly incorrect, I give a slight correction (i think was like 5 words or something), you give me additional information that correlates to??the subject??but still doesn't quite really do anything to justify it,??but then take the admit your slight mistake and take the correction and we're all good.??..Yeah something like that. ????
