Eyesight would be the worst sense to lose, amirite?

No I would advocate that the sense of touch is the most important. If you didn't have it you couldn't walk, move, etc

No... it'd just mean you can't feel pain lol. There are people like that out there?
by Anonymous11 years ago
Yeah. That's dangerous too. They have to be under constant supervision because they're always hurting themselves...which is still worse

Well yeah, but those guys can do all the stuff we can, just not feel the pain behind it *Tears up*

Movement and motion are not classified under the sense of touch. Maybe Proprioception, Equilibrioception, or even a bit of Nociception or tension.

Its rather difficult to walk when you can't feel the ground

Maybe at first but it's not impossible. I would imagine it being weird though . I had a friend who had no sense of touch in the fingers of her left hand, she still uses it.

I remember seeing some kind of documentary or something about people without the sense of pain. one was partially blind from poking her eyes out repeatedly as a kid. Touch is very important.

I saw that too. She kept scratching her cornea off of her eye

What about smell? Without smell you can't taste! So that's a double whammaroo

I know a girl without a sense of smell. It causes her absolutely no damage at all.

You can live without smelling and tasting... I didn't say there is damage to the person....

So why would it be the worst sense to lose if it doesn't harm you?
by Anonymous11 years ago
Because not being able to taste food will suck....

I would rather lose my eyesight than my sense of touch. People who can't feel anything often hurt themselves accidentally because they can't feel anything.

I think "common" would be up there too

But you have to remember that most people don't have that in the first place

Im surprised no one has said hearing. Life without music? Only what you can see, never hearing anything coming? I know both deaf and blind people can and do live full lives, but if you were to lose it after having them. Ugh thr would suck.

Hearing or sense of touch. I don't think losing my eyesight would be all that horrible to be honest.

I would hate losing any of my senses, except smell.
Hearing: dangerous to lose, and no music
Sight: I mean, you can't see anything. Scary
Touch: That's just weird, and can be dangerous too
Taste: good, because you can eat only healthy things and not care, but also, no more bacon :(

not necessarily. Being blind makes you see the world in a different perspective, maybe appreciate life more. Recall Toni Morrison's noble prize speech anyone? It's not a disability, more like dis-is-ability. I heard that the appreciation for life decreases without taste.(but smell affects taste doesn't it)

Agreed. I love music, really, but without sight I wouldn't be able to read anything. There's audio books, yes, but I am not an auditory learner. I need to //see// things.
