Lacking sense of smell, I know I would not trade it for Sight. I might swap out smell for taste, but not taste for sight. I love music so much, it would be tough to lose, so I might give up taste for that and smell as well, still sight would win over hearing.
It would be a close call to touch or sight. Not knowing you were burning yourself. Not knowing you were cold. Yet still, sight is the winner.

My sight is my most treasured and enjoyed sense. Hearing would be sorely missed, but not so much as sight. Smell and taste are closely connected and much enjoyed, but I would give them up before hearing or sight (retaining smell over taste, if I had to choose). That leaves only my sense of touch. At first glance, that seems the most dispensable, but I'm afraid it would be difficult to avoid fatal injury without the feedback of touch. I will still select sight as the sense I would choose to retain, but might not live long enough to enjoy it properly.

i notice that alot of people are saying sight...but i will say.
SMELL....it can give and bring back the best memories in life. i while ago i wasn't talking to my mum..and this lady came to pick me up for work, when i got in her car all i could smell was my mums perfume and when i closed my eyes i could see her. i actually had tears in my eyes and told the lady what i had experienced. that night i rang my mother for the first time in 2 yrs. we still talk today. smell also is mad when you smell food or flowers. sit back and think of scents that you can relate to things like your mum, dad, food, right down to yucks stuff too. i wouldn't even have to say words and if you could smell you would just know what i was referring to like the ocean...that's a nice smell. thanks. :)

Sight--because I love to read and without my sight I couldn't do this. Of all my senses, it's the one I am most afraid of losing.

Sight...because I just couldn't live without my eyesight. It's the best sense I have. I couldn't live without being able to see...I just couldn't.

Seeing, It's the one I enjoy the most, and it can also let you live a somewhat normal life.

i would definitely pick smell because its the one you dont really need to survive like you need the other four. Also, losing your sense of smell could be good, if you are around people with B.O or who fart. lol

I think it would be smell as you can apparently always smell memories, excitement, danger or fear but you can never always see it, feel it, taste it or hear it!!!!!!
