which of the 5 senses would you choose to give up?

I would give up speech. As a woman I say too much without thinking as it is. I love music so I wouldn't want to give up hearing. I love my husband so I wouldn't want to give up touch. I love food so I wouldn't want to give up taste. I love color and art so I wouldn't give up sight. I think giving up the ability to speak would be my choice. :)

That's a very hard decision to make, and a great question! It wouldn't be sight, because I wouldn't want to have to depend on anyone to get around; it wouldn't be hearing because I love music entirely to much to give up listening to it; it wouldn't be touch because I would hate to give up feeling my fiance's caresses and the softness of petting my animals; so that leaves taste and smell. Hmm... I would miss tasting food (I love to eat), but I would also miss the way certain smells trigger memories of things I haven't thought of in a long time. I think I would toss a coin to choose between taste and smell, but it would definitely be between those two; the others are keepers.

Hearing.
I would still be able to read lips, signs, teleprompters etc. It wouldn't disrupt my life as much as say.. losing sight. I think it would drive me crazy if I couldn't feel from touch and if you lose the sense of smell, you wouldn't be able to taste anything so it would disrupt the eating cycle.

Speech is not a sense.... But i'd give up taste. I love eating, but i could still do it (not the same obviously) if I had no taste.

First of all there are 6 senses and second of all
I wouldn't "choose" to give any of them up!

I'd have to say smell. I mean, when I've been sick and all stuffy, everything else was fine even though I was unable to smell anything.

Probably hearing. Too many people just talk trash that is not worth listening too anyway.

You the asker should add what you would give up, in additional details underneath the Q.
