What would you keep...?

Question

What would you do if the doctor says that you can only keep any two of your five senses, which two would you keep and why?

Answer 1

my taste buds and my ability to smell, without those i would be dead, so picking the other combinations is pointless, because my choices are fundamental

Answer 2

I could live without some of the foul odors in the world and I don't necessarily need to taste the nasty foods that are so good for our health. So, I'd say I could live without the sense of smell and taste. I would sacrifice my hearing next because I need human contact to feel love and I need my sight to view the things that I love. I can catch a beat through the floorboard bass when it comes to my love for music. I can read lips and write/read notes to communicate effectively.

Answer 3

Wow, what a question. Let me see. My hearing definitely and the other one is such a tough one!!! hmmm let me think, I guess touch.

I couldn't live without the sound of the ocean or the laugh of my little one. And touch because I would still be able to feel the warmth of the sun and how good sand feels under my feet. And I would have to say goodbye to the awesome taste of lasagna...very sad. Great question!

Answer 4

Touch and sight. I can learn to read lips and be more attentive if I have sight. I can still feel texture, temperature and feel myself touch loved ones. I think those are the more necessary things to keep me sane if I were missing 3 senses.

Answer 5

Touch - for the extreme practicality of it (I would like to know if I pick up a hot pan and am burning myself. Please.) But also for the great pleasure of it. Everything. The wind against my skin, the rain on my face, a kiss on my lips, and most certainly the feeling of someone else's skin against my own.

Sight - I don't want to miss out on the natural beauty of the world. Color. Sunrise, sunset. Stars, clouds. Blue sky through the green leaves of a cottonwood tree. The faces of my loved ones. And of course, I'd like to look in a mirror and be able to tell when I have broccoli in my teeth, and I also love driving and don't want to lose that!

Answer 6

I would keep sight and touch. I believe that with sight I could remember taste and be able to eventually work out what people are saying. Touch, I would need, to be able to feel loved, without feelings I would be lost

Answer 7

Sight because my job depends on attention to detail and touch becasue you can say so much by just touching a person

Answer 8

I'd have to have my eyes...Im so visually oriented. Secondly I would have to have the sense of taste. Food is a love of mine Unfortunately to fully appreciate food one need both sense of smell and taste. I'd like to share project from this Belfast Middle School :
