There are five senses that most of the people in the world are granted when they are born, sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. If I had to loose one of my senses I would probably loose the sense of touch. The reason I would give this one up out of all of the rest is that the others you use to function like a normal person physically and emotionally. For example, sight you use all of the time to look and see, to not see anything would be pretty bad and you would need a guide dog or a guide stick. Taste you would need to taste all of your favorite foods. There would also be no reason to eat and eating wouldn’t be enjoyed as much in your life. Everyone likes to sit down with their family and enjoy a nice meal! Smell you would need for pleasure and for safety. To enjoy smell would be like coming home on that exhausting day of school and smell a pan of cookies waiting for you. Safety reasons for smell is like if you were in a factory and a poisonous gas broke out and if you couldn’t smell it you would probably be really messed up or if there was a fire you would need to smell the smoke to escape it. If you just lost the sense of touch you would loose all feeling which could be a good thing. Like if you got your arm sawed off you wouldn’t be in any pain or if you go to the doctor and you got a shot you wouldn’t feel bad at all! So overall if I had to loose one sense the sense of feeling would be my choice by far! But of course you wouldn’t want to loose a sense for no reason.
