If you had to lose one of your senses, which one would it be?

hearing, although I would miss my jazz

Thats easy, id lose my sense of smell, seeing as I still have taste.

My sense of smell. I can barely smell anything anyway with my allergies.

Probably taste. I don't really care about eating, and I'd be less picky about what I'd ate too, so in all honestly, lacking taste would probably benefit me more in the long run.

I picked taste. My thinking is that if I lost touch I could be leaning on a stove and I wouldn't know, which would be bad. Sight is pretty essential to life because of reading, walking, driving, and so on. Hearing is my favorite because of music and talking to people. I've heard that when you can't smell your taste is muffled, so I might as well choose taste. Also if I didn't have taste I could eat healthy food even if it tastes bad. Although it would be very sad to never be able to taste bacon again.

I picked taste because actually it is smell that is the most important for what flavor the food has.
So without taste I whould hardly loose anything really.
Everyone can agree that the others are more important than taste or smell as you will have one of them left if you choose one of them.

And why do more people think touch above sight or hearing.
The reason people with leprosy loose their fingers and toes is because the disease reduces their sense of touch, not because the disease itself makes them loose it.

Would you:

1.) Rather be able to smell delicious food and not be able to taste it.
2.) Rather be able to taste delicious food and not be able to smell it.

Although, without smell food doesn't taste as good. But it's better than nothing.

Hearing, since mine doesn't work anyway

Umm... Biologically speaking, in order to lose taste or smell, you'd have to lose both taste & smell since the two senses are related (if one is lost, the other is too); and if you lost your sense of touch, you'd pretty much be dead (as in all dead, not undead or mostly dead ).

Here's a fun fact: I don't have a sense of smell.

Or if I do have one, it's incredibly weak and not very well defined. I have very limited ability to actually smell anything, and if I can smell, I usually have no idea what it is that I am smelling (in a couple of instances, I thought I was smelling something horrible and upon being told what the smell was, realised it was actually a good smell and found my reaction to said smell changed entirely - weird!).

It's not so bad not having a sense of smell. It just gets a little frustrating when someone asks if you can smell something, or tries to share a smell with you but you can't appreciate it. I kind of wish I were able to smell flowers or newborn babies, for example. Other than that I am happy to forego the opportunity to smell the kitty litter, my brother's farts, and customer's B.O.

Also, this hasn't in any way affected my sense of taste. I can taste everything I eat. :)

Smell for sure. I already have poor sense of smell due to allergies.
