Most of us here are already deaf, been there done that. However let's say you are going to lose another function of your body. Which one would you choose to lose if one has to go?
Which seems worse to you and why?

:shock:
 
I pick taste because this help my diet, lol. I think worst lose be hands/arms. Very hard sign that way.

The poll sort of looks like which would be easier to lose.

So I went with vision as I have a head start.

If it was the worst, I would think I would have chosen loss of limbs as that would limit functioning on things I like to do.
 
for me, worse private part bec i nympho girl love and addict sex!!!! i not care if i lose thinking-deeper brain function bec emotion not important for me.
 
Hmm, it's between hair or teeth. Maybe teeth as I could get fake teeth put in or something(not dentures). A friend of mine had most of her teeth removed due to an accident and fake teeth put in and you can't really tell.
 
Oh I read wrong...Yeah limbs, for me, would be the worst to lose.

:wave:
good catch, I didn't realize I posted title and description differently. I fixed it!
 
there is not on your list. so i created the added list.

i vote for losing the taste but with tongue is still there. I guess. :shock:

why? : no reason to eat more but sufficent. mmmmm
 
Vision....100%...I could still function without taste, smell...hell, even privates!...But being blind & deaf, that's a hard one to swallow.

As for loss of legs or arms, I'd rather be deaf.
 
I didn't really vote since besides my hearing, I am losing my vision, my legs and now my arms. My hair is slowly falling out. I would hate to lose my sense of smell, taste or mental functions.
 
I picked my teeth since I didn't want to lose any other function.
 
I voted taste and smell. I dont care for smell because my hubby smokes too much and if I had no smell then I wont be bothered by it constantly. Taste..I can stop pigging out on my favorite foods and lose this weight!

Body function I didnt choose and why..

Vision/Eyes...dont want to be deafblind and I am artistic in a visual sense.

Touch/Feeling...I cherish my hot baths and feeling relaxed

Thinking...without it, I wont enjoy life with my friends or family.

Legs...I love to stay active and play sports.

Arms...need them for ASL

Teeth...I am somewhat vain

Hair..again with the vainity

private parts...I need sex

personality...again, without it I wouldnt enjoy life.
 
I picked hair, because to me that's just a vanity issue. I'd much rather lose every single hair on my body than lose any of the other stuff that was listed. I could always wear wigs and fake eyebrows if I didn't look good bald - and I would not mind losing body hair elsewhere anyway, lol
 
I'm confused, which one was I supposed to pick? The one I would pick to lose? or the one I would find worse to lose..
 
hair? that's a bodily function? it should be removed just to amp up the challenge
 
I'm with Howag. Hair or teeth can easily be passed off with fakes. Not too much trauma with that.
 
Hair... but again, I'm losing hair. So it was an easy choice for me.
 
Hmm I'm gonna say I can probably live with artificial leg or arm. So I'd say losing emotions is the worst, I'd just be a troll online and a shell of a human. As for what I think is easier to live with, probably no taste or smell. I'm not crazy about foods.

You got it right earlier. It is a double discussion. Pick one that you'd be ok with losing and discuss any others like which is the worst.
 
Hair, teeth, leg, arm, private parts (vagina, penis???) etc.. - not to nitpick, but these are not body functions. These are body parts.

Personality is neither a body function nor body part - it is an individual emotional trait. gah, it's hard to describe so here it is:
Personality - What Is Personality

Body functions are:
physiological:breath, see, hear, smell, reproduce, blink, poop etc...
psychological : think


Anyway,
I picked hair. who needs hair?????
you can always buy a wig if you are vain :)
(and even look better for it, ha! )
