I prefer to be deaf,it's better being able to see than not hear. Having my sight i can see everything what happens around me,and i can even see the read lips movement of a person to underastand what they are saying

I would rather be deaf. Although it would be difficult to never hear a song play again, I think that blind people have a lot less mobility and independence. If I were deaf and I wanted to go somewhere, I could still drive myself. I wouldn't have to depend on someone else to read a menu for me or to write a check. Brail is difficult to learn. Reading lips is much easier. I can somewhat do that now. Yes, I would definately perfer to be deaf over blind.

I would rather be deaf, that way I could view the beauty of the world that is before me.

I would prefer to be deaf rather than blind.Coz I have seen people who are deaf learning the sign language and leading a almost normal life ,having spouses,kids.But since eyes are the doors to your heart and you do everything with them..you need them the most I believe.
