Music is my life. It gets me through everything and I love finding new sounds. Sight is too important to me. There are so many beautiful things in the world. Touch is necessary to understand tactile input and to be safe. (i.e., detecting a burning flame, knowing when my body is too cold/hot, feeling pain etc.) Smells are nostalgic. They bring us back to the ancient part of our brains, help us remember and is really the most powerful of the five senses.

I think getting rid of taste would be more practical. Even though I love certain flavors, I could still live with having my other senses in tact. Plus, I could eat more foods and not worry about liking them or not.XD I have a very limited palette.

Probably taste - but on accident I clicked smell XD.

Also Im not sure how it would even be possible to loose your touch.

Heres something interesting for those who gave up smell.....a large part of tasting involves using smell...if you give that up, you virtually cant taste... thats why your mom says plug your nose when you have to take yucky medicine

Sight, I suppose, personally.

Taste, because if I lost my vision, I wouldn't be able to see that special someone, if I lost my sense of touch, I wouldn't be able to feel their tender touches, if I lost my hearing, I wouldn't be able to hear their beautiful voice, and if I lost my taste, then I wouldn't be able to taste their wonderful flavour whenever we kissed. Of course, I wouldn't be able to smell them, bu it is a small price to pay to save a loved one

If I can save her I can sacrifice any of my senses or all of them. If she live and I can save her, that means me everything, and I can give up everything.
Unfortunately, I haven't met with her yet. :(

ifit was to save the woman of my dreams, I would say sight. If I had already seen her, my senses of touch, smell, and hearing would recreate the image of her in my mind. I dont need to see her to love her.
