As I mentioned in my previous post, the sense of touch and the sense of pain are separate senses that can be lost or missing separately. And as nice as it may sound, the loss of the sense of pain would likely be disastrous. I remember reading about a child who was born without a sense of pain, and IIRC he had already lost several fingers at the age of two. Pain is there for a reason.

From your observation, do you suppose we may extrapolate that in the scheme of things pains in the arse are beneficially spawned in forums?

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI suppose I'll run counter to the conventional wisdom and say that, were I forced to forfeit one (not that I would ever want to give it up voluntarily), I would choose sight.

What would existence be like...
What would existence be like for a child born with no senses... no sight, no taste, no smell, no hearing, no touch? During Thanksgiving
Week I was thinking about all of the many people, conveniences, blessings and things we all tend to take for granted. Our five senses
would probably rank quite high on such ...[text shortened]... to forfeit one, which would it be and which would be the last you'd like to lose?

By the way, GB, I'm interested in which you would choose to do without first and last.

Actually, hearing would not be too bad - I would still be able to do these chats on the internet and in real life I could say what I wanted to people and not have to hard what they replied. I could be the greatest debater the world had ever seen, because nothing my opposition said could possibly break my composure.
