If you had to choose to give up one of your five senses?

I think I would say "taste", for right now. If you ask me again another time, I may choose a different one. I think taste can easily be overcome with the sense of smell, because that is closely related to taste, and more of the taste sensation comes from the ability to smell than your taste buds. And, then, when I have to choke down awful meds, it will be much much easier.

What a great question! This is a tough one. I love music and the tv and hearing my kids voices so hearing is out. Seeing is so important I couldn't handle that one at all. Smelling. Hmmm. Tasting I wouldn't want to give up. I like o taste stuff so very much. Hehe And tasting. Are we kidding? So, I guess Smelling would be the one.

i think if i give up my sense of smell i might just lose my sense of taste too... so actually right now i would like to specifically lose the sense of feeling.. but not physically.. i guess more on the emotional side so i could just stop feeling and just be numb about the things this world has offered me!!!

Perhaps I will give up smelling. The hearing, seing and feeling are very important and I can't give them all. I enjoy eating and therefore I don't want to lose the ability of tasting. So there is only smelling left. And perhaps it is fine that I can't smell that something sticks. According to it, I am willing to lose smelling. I love China

on the basis of what I have to give up all that and why, if indeed we do not want to be rude because it was part of ourselves and our rights does not belong to someone else, who would give up so easily when still on hold

Hi, I would surely give up smelling as the first preferred and the least preferred would be feeling.Once I lose Smelling sense I would go to any stink place that really does not matter to me and body odor of other will not be my issue.Maybe I cannot enjoy the perfumes but that really does not matter to me . What maters to me the most are my feelings of touch,eyesight taste and listening. The last i would lose is feeling of skin even without eyesight we will be to feel the touch of the other person.

I would give up taste first. It is less essential to survival as I see it. I think I would give up hearing last.

I would not want to give up any of them. The reason is that no one willingly gives up their senses unless it is to save someone's life and when they do it, they do not live that long afterwards - the bomb would have done too much damage, the wheel of the car crushed one and he or she sied or their injuries. It is the same as the question about being rich or happy.

i would give up sense of smell. I need my eyesight, touch, tasting and hearing. i think those four are very important to out daily lives. although it will definitely affect my taste buds since those 2 go together.

I would give up smelling. I remember when I had a stuffy nose that I couldn't smell but I didn't feel sad at the time.

I guess either smelling or tasting. I couldn't imagine giving up my sight, sense of touch, or hearing, and these were the two I was left with by process of elimination. Not being able to taste, yes, would kind of suck, but you'd live. I mean, you just wouldn't get to enjoy food, and that wouldn't be the end of the world. Might even lose a pound or two. LOL

I think that I would choose to give up my sense of taste at this point in my life. The reason that I choose that is because I would still be able to smell all of the wonderful things in life and if I didn't have my sense of taste, then I think I would be much less likely to overeat the way that I am accustomed to doing right now. That said, I really don't think that I would like to give up any of my five senses.

Smelling would be the sense that I would get up. Every other sense is really something that I need. There are certain ways that my life would improve without certain smells invading my life. Granted, there will be certain smells that I would miss but I am just trying to figure out what the lesser of all evils would be and smell is at the top of the list. Hearing is most certainly out. I enjoy listening to music. Therefore if I cannot hear the music, I might go slightly insane. The same with seeing as I enjoy seeing things with my eyes. Tasting would be a bummer to give up. And feeling would be another one of those senses that I would go mad if I did not have. To lose the sense of touch, would mean that I cannot even feel the ground beneath my feet. That would really mess up my mind for sure.

I think it would be smelling, I don't think I can live without seeing or hearing. I love reading very much and the mere thought that I'd loose my sight makes me want to cry :(

If I'm going to give up one of my senses, It's going to be my sense of touch. That way, I'm immune to physical pain and I can dive from a high-storey building and won't even feel a thing. Lol. Although that could kill me so I'm not really gonna do it.
