The Question:
If you had to give up one of your five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch), which would you give up? And why?

First, touch. Traditional ways of losing your sense of touch is with severing your spinal cord, but that doesn't affect your feeling around your face, so the only way I can defitivly say that you would lose the sense of touch is with leprosy. Leprosy is dangerous to have, a good way to get yourself killed.

Now on to taste and smell. These two senses are closely linked, and in order to lose all of one, you'd have to lose the other too. The olefactory has as much to do with your ability to taste a given food as does your tongue. But in order to accuratly smell a given item, you actually have to taste it too. (A little bit of disgusting knowledge when you smell a fart.)

Hearing. One of the most widly used sensory inputs. Some people were able to withstand being blinded only because they could still hear. Whats more your ear actually accounts for your ability to stay balanced. A grave sense to lose.

Sight. This sense accounts for 65% or more of your capablity to function in daily life. A rather important sense to have.

I would choose to lose my sense of morality. I never use it any ways.
