If I had to it would be smell. I couldn't imagine not seeing my kids grow up or my husband, not being able to touch them and feel it, not being able to hear them, or taste my food (I like my food way too much to give up being able to taste it).

I chose taste...I couldnt live if I couldnt see or hear my baby girl, or touch her hair or smell her hair...I couldnt stand to not be able to smell her baby girl smell or her sweet breath, or my dh's colonge...taste, I could lose that...then maybe I'd lose weight too! j/k

Taste. I could love without it but the others would be hard to lose.

I chose taste because then I could eat yucky spinach and veggies all day and be skinny forever :giggle ...also if you can't smell then most of your taste senses are gone too...that's one of the reason why you can't taste much when you have a cold...oh what we learn in anatomy :teehee

I would have to say taste.

Smell. Heck, I can't smell half the time anyway with allergies, so it wouldn't be much different, lol.

I defintely would not give up taste because I already know what my dad's going through with his taste buds being temporarily disabled because of radiation treatments due to lung cancer. He keeps telling me how food just doesn't taste the same. :(

I would give up my own touch because all the other senses are just too important to me.
I want to be able to hear my son and hubby talking to me. I want to hear their voices. I want to see them day in and day out.

ETA: Me giving up smell would affect my taste as well. Therefore I wouldn't choose smell...LOL!!!

I would have to give up taste even though I love eatting and drinking. The rest of my sences I would really need. I love hearing my children playing and would miss that if i wouldnt hear them, I love to see my loved ones and would go crazy if I couldnt, I love to be able to feel the hugs and kisses that I recieve daily and miss them very much, I love the smell of things cooking and fresh flowers and the smell of clean children. But i could do without me smell and taste if I had to I guess. Since I go without them when my allergies kick in anyway.

I would have to chose taste, cause I couldnt bare not seeing my son, not being able to hold him and feel my husbands touch, I couldnt bare not being able to smell his hair, I wouldnt be able to stand not hearing his laugh. so I would have to go with taste.. Hugs and Kisses Nikki

Well, smell and taste kind of go hand in hand. If you loose one then you loose the other. And I wouldn't want to loose either.

Probably my hearing. I know ASL, so it wouldn't be a huge change.

For me, This one is SO easy to answer.

If I could lose taste, I would be happy. It would make losing weight SO easy for me. Taste is what keeps me eating, regardless of hunger.:confused :vent

its actually proven that chemical signals are more important to your daily functioning then sight, and hearing are.

I cant help but wonder what it would be like to be eating something and not taste it? I guess it would make things easier when trying to decide what to eat

ILVMYMR

12-04-2006, 06:41 PM

I chose smell...although I was on the fence between that and taste, because maybe I wouldn't eat so much if I couldn't taste it :giggle

HollySunshine

12-04-2006, 06:44 PM

I totally said hearing. Since I know what its like I can live without it and learn sign language!

12-04-2006, 08:27 PM

i chose sight, because even without sight i could still,

taste wonderful food
smell the world after the first rain of spring
hear music, and the voices of the people i love
and most of all
touch- i would still be able to hold DB's hand, cradle a newborn baby, pet my animals.

I'm glad i'm not the only one who would give up taste, i mean dnt get me wrong i'm a food addict so it would suck, but i mean tasting things isnt how i get around daily so yah it'd have to go for me lol:P

Kelsey

12-04-2006, 09:58 PM

I don't think I could give up smell, because that would also make most of my taste go away as well....I guess I'll go with touch.

~Crystal~

12-05-2006, 01:48 PM

Smell.....cause at least I could still enjoy the others!!! Plus..there have been times when I wish I couldn't smell!! LOL!!!
