give up a sense .., which one ? Options

[jnukes]

the "Can a person speak even this person is born deaf?. " topic gave me an idea for this ..

if you had to give up a sense, what would it be ?

think of tha difficulties .. and what you wouldn't be able to do without each sense ..


also, explain why would you give up that sense. Because without a particular sense, you could live life without it ? or that you want to put a challenge in your life and see what it's like ?



for me, i think i would give up taste , giving up being able to determine flavors .

without taste, i could eat foods that i think that taste bad, like some vegetables, and gett tha good nutrition. also, i wouldn't need to have a favorite food. i could eat anything [[ almost anything ]] i want and still be full !. I wouldn't have to worry about opening my cabinet, and find foods i don't like. i could just .. eat it .. and be full and be happy =] ..


i tried to search for another topic like this .. but it went to 25 pages .. and i couldn't search for "giving up a sense" .. i had to search "giving sense" .. "up" and "a" aren't long enough words ..


so what do you all think ?

while i agree with ur reasoning, i might pick giving up the sense of hearing. that way, i'd drown out all the stupid things people say and be in my own happy little world. but then i'd be taking away music and what not. so i guess i'd still go with loss of taste. although i will miss cheesecake so much..
