I have had a few blind friends and asked them questions about what it's like being blind. This question is best answered by a blind person.
But I can tell you that research has shown we receive about 90% of information through the eyes. How many things do you think your eyes observe in a single second, including in your peripheral vision? A great deal. Also, being able to see allows you to be independent because you don't have to depend on other people to cross a street, or to get somewhere since you can't drive. You also would be able to do any form of exercise, go out and have fun with your friends without being dependent in some way. Anyone but a blind or physically handicapped person can do all these things.
Those reasons alone are sufficient to make a logical claim that that a blind person would rather be able to see than remain blind.

It's not a terrible thing to be blind because it's not you who gets to choose whether you become blind or not, if I do have to choose then I'd choose both, I'd choose to be half-blind because rather than depending on my sight to judge on people for example I'd use my ears as well to listen to what these people have to say. If everyone in this world was blind then there will be no racism or discrimination so as you see even the worst of things to some people can actually do the world some good.

I've seen what the bureaucracy does when it has blind people and they want to capitalize on it for handicapped funding that is more for everybody else that for the people is was meant to help~all go to the bank working for the money that is ear marked for them, the side walk are all improved for them and most will never use any of the constructed aids at the end of every side walk in America was in the pockets of the contractors and the administrators but the blind guy could have used the money and lived better with out all the civil weill fare that they never got

This is coming from a mother's point of view, but I would also chose sight. To not be able to see my child grow up would devastate me. Although I would miss the sound of little feet running up and down the halls, I would rather see the joy on my child's face, tears when she is sad and smiles every morning.

sight. One misses out so much when they're blind, and it's so sad. They can't read music, they can't read anything except Braille actually, they can't draw, they can't drive, they can't order food by reading menu's, and more. I'd die without my hearing, but my sight is a tie with that haha
