I know that, thinking overall, most people would hate to lose their sight. I'm not thinking bigger picture here though; I'm wondering about the little things.
Could you really do without being able to smell a sunday roast cooking? Seeing a sunrise? Hearing the radio? Don't think day-to-day life and practicality, just think of those small pleasures that just give you a moment to smile.
Which could you really not do without?
For me, it has to be smells. I find so many smells so soothing and comforting; I love the fresh smell in the air after rain, the smell of metal and oil (having spent many years in a metalwork workshop, and having lots of good memories with it), the smell of my pillow when my girlfriend's been sleeping there - all things I really couldn't do without.

It's between sight and touch for me. Not being able to see beauty would piss me off.

Bollocks I mis-read it, I'd lose taste ; eating healthily would be far easier. I'd keep sight at all costs.

definitely sight Neko. but you have a point about smell, didn't more than scan the post so dunno if you mentioned it but apparently loss of smell can lead to complete loss of libido for reasons which are unclear to me but I heard it somewhere...

I didn't mention that, but it's true - if your nasal receptors stop working, you become immune to other people's hormones. Kills a lot of the mood, by all accounts. Interesting to see so many people go for sight though. While I can appreciate it's an important one for real life, if you gave me the choice between a picture of the beach or the smell of sea air, I'd go for the smell hands down Maybe you're not reading the first post properly!

Well seeing my girlfriend in the mornings, watching Millwall score that match winning goal! That beautiful painting in the tate or the royal academy. The girl that walks past you and you 'my god she's gorgeous When you give someone you love a present, watching their face light up because you've got what they want, the joy on their face. The list goes on...............

Very good points there Hurls; I stand corrected at least on your account ;D
That's the sort of thing I'm after though - c'mon, why's that sense so great?

I was just talking about this last night, actually! It's really hearing I'd hate to lose. I honestly can't live without music. With seeing, you can at least visualize what's around you - hell, you could embellish what you recall of the area and be living in an imaginary paradise!
With hearing, you can hear the pitter patter of the first rainfall, (something I value a lot, living in the desert), a calming breeze kicking up. The sound of your significant other's voice. Honestly, would you want to give up hearing them? Their laughter? Seeing them is one thing, but could you give up hearing them? I'd sooner pick listening over simply watching.
But, let's say, a blind person and a deaf person go to a concert. Who's going to have more fun? The blind person, obviously. They can still rock out, party, and have a reasonably good time. The deaf person would just be lost as to what's going on, really, and they'd just be stuck either sitting/standing there, or pretending. And who wants to pretend they're enjoying a concert? I know I don't~
Sound is good ;D ...plus, if you're blind, you can beat people with your cane and say it's an accident because you 'couldn't see them'. And society agrees with you!
