Writer's Block: The Expendable Sense(s)

If you had to give up one of your five senses, which could you live without? Submitted By newbiepoet View other answers

Assuming that the question refers to the five Aristotelian senses - sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste...

...I think I would have to go with sight. Hearing would be a less inconvenient disability, but to lose music? I cannot bear the thought.

I am in complete accord. It's kind of unthinkable, not being able to listen to music. If I go deaf when I'm old, I will just have to off myself.

Don't worry - we've already started hacking the visual cortex, I bet we'll be able to install audio-in jacks long before we lose all hearing. :P
