But never again seeing the majestic nature? The people I love? I really think is ridiculous to even consider being blind instead of deaf.
 
This same poll in the normal world would probably have 90-10 in favor of being deaf instead of blind... But I guess the results are normal for a prog site...  


I agree!
Yes, it would be horrible not to be able to hear any music, but it would be EVEN WORSE not to be able to see anything again!

Deafness is a much worse misfortune. For it
means the loss of the most vital stimulus - the
sound of the voice that brings language, sets
thoughts astir, and keeps us in the intellectual
company of man.

Could I have the option of losing my sense of smell.  I think I might be halfway there because my wife and kids complain about my socks, but they don't even register on the olfactory scale as far as I'm concerned.
