Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I'll go with smell!. The lack of smell would also effect the taste of things!. Maybe then I'd be able to resist those pies and cookies!. Thanks for asking!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. RocketWww@QuestionHome@Com

I'd live without smell!. Because if I lived without my sense of smell I could still continue building human relationships!. With hearing I can listen to people and they can communicate with me, with touch I'm able to comfort other people and myself, with taste and sight I'm able to understand other cultures more than I can do with smell (and personally I love eating)!.
I'm also able to prevent injury or understand the warning signals of danger through sight and hearing more than I can with smell!. I'd say that's a pretty important reason!.
If you think about it the only type of danger your able to understand is fire through smell, but you can escape the fire quicker if your able to hear and see where its coming from!.
Smell is pretty useless to be honest!.
I would consider taste, touch and sight and hear as more important in order to experience life than smell!.
I wouldn't be as afraid to live life without my sense of smell, but I would without sight, hearing, taste and touch!.
Thank you, really interesting question :) take care!.!.

I'd go without smell!.

That would mean that most of my ability to appreciate food would also disappear, because "taste" without smell is very primitive!. Still, I'm hardly a gourmet anyway!. I eat to live, I don't live to eat!.

Taste per se is a valuable evolutionary warning sign!. Something that tastes bitter or sour might be poisonous or spoiled!. So I'd keep that!.

I'd certainly keep sight and hearing, and couldn't muffle the sense of touch!. So it would have to be smell by process of elimination!.

I would choose "taste!."
I wouldn't choose smell, because what if your house was on fire!? You would have to SMELL the smoke!.
I wouldn't choose hear, because hearing is a vital part of human communication methods!.
I wouldn't choose sight, because seeing things is important and living without it can be dangerous!.
I wouldn't choose touch, because sometimes touching soft and warm things can make us calm!.

Very interesting question! Www@QuestionHome@Com

Simple smell i no some of your taste is from smell of the product(this is true) but then it would be easier to eat healthy food and what would life be like without music food the feel of grass in the morning sight of a sunset the taste of a pizza and blah blah blah you get the point p!.s you put down touch twice but i bet you already no that and if so sorryWww@QuestionHome@Com

Sight has to be the most important,then hearing, as long as i have these i will give thanks!.
Losing the sense of touch would be unpleasant!.Taste would be weird!.I will go with losing smell!.But it would be a sad day to lose that too!.
Those of us that have all five in tact should be very grateful,methinks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Taste!. I know someone that has no sense of smell after a car wreck and it is pretty sad!. We all know someone deaf or blind!. Touch is something I think would be the hardest to do without!. So yeah, Taste!. Though that to me would be hard!. No more chocolate!.

Smell - I would hate to be deaf or blind and I love my food too much to lose my sense of taste!. Touch is important so as not to hurt yourself without knowing, so it would have to be smell!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think, living with my noisy gobby husband, losing my hearing would be a bonus!. my sight is the most important sense for me!. i cant imagine how hard life could be without sightWww@QuestionHome@Com

I would choose hearing!.

Because that way I wouldn't care what people thought about me, Not that i care now, but i just wouldnt care if theyre saying bad stuff!.
