1. Sight
2. Hearing
3. Taste
4. Touch
5. Smell

Easy choice: smell.

Everything else is pretty vital.

I was going to go with taste, but smell seems more logical. Although you may not be able to tell if you left the gas going on the stove if you lose your sense of smell, spark a smoke and then die...

Obvious question is obvious.

Seriously, sometimes I wish I COULD lose my sense of smell.

I chose smell, duh.

Should have been: Sight, Hearing, or Voice?

Taste, nothing that you taste can tell you if its poisonious (sp) or not. There is nothing your sense of taste can do to save your life.

1. Sight - You can see danger.
2. Hearing - You can hear danger.
3. Taste - You can't taste danger.
4. Touch - You can feel danger.
5. Smell - You can smell danger.

Poisonous*

And I could never go without my taste. I love food too much.

My life would be a lot easier if I had no sense of taste.

Smell contributes more to your sense of taste than actual taste does. Taste is pretty useless.

@Jessifer - I Don't think Voice is a sense.

@Kaz - What types of danger are you referring to that you can smell?

I would probably choose smell, but it is the strongest sense linked to memory and emotion.

So I would then have to choose taste, though I do love tasting food, it would allow me to eat stuff that might be extremely nutritional, but tastes like shit.

I'm aware that it's not. I just think it would have been more of a split vote.

Ahh I gotcha. Losing your voice completely would suck, but it wouldn't be AS bad if you could write down everything. Then again I'm not sure how you'd put emotion into what you were saying... it would be like online conversations.

id probly go with taste. even though it would suck, it would just suck less than all other options

Obvious question is obvious. Seriously, sometimes I wish I COULD lose my sense of smell.

Isn't your sense of smell connected with your sense of taste? So you lose one and you lose the other?

I would also choose smell.

How the hell would you lose your sense of touch?

Anyways, I put smelling.

You can smell a fire, or in some cases a poisonous gas, you can smell a gas leak.. You can smell a lot of danger.

A fire burning away all your nerves, although I don't know how one could live happily that way.

You can smell a fire, or in some cases a poisonous gas, you can smell a gas leak.. You can smell a lot of danger.

You can touch a hot stove.
You can see a person holding a gun to your head.
You can hear a helicopter about to crash.
You can feel the ground shaking before an earthquake.
You can taste poison before you engulf it.

You can apply bad situations to the loss of any sense.

Odds are you could smell the poison or see the poison before you would taste the poison.
