Default Blind Or Deaf?

I considered putting this Critical Thinking and decided not to.

Anyways, I was thinking the other night, if I had to choose between going blind or going deaf, which one would I choose?

I spent the whole night thinking about it, and I couldnt come to a conclusion.

So, would you choose to be deaf, or choose to be blind? And why?

Deaf. I work in a field that depends on my visual senses. I could operate and make a living being deaf no matter how unpleasant that would be.

Cheers,

Blind. I have an extremely good sense of hearing that I could live off of.

I would think a poll would yield over 90% of people saying deaf.

I would be part of that percentage, no doubt.

I'm sorry I couldn't remember the exact quotes, particularly the beginning/rest of the beginning of the second one.


But anyway, I would prefer being deaf, probably. It just doesn't seem to hinder people as much.

It would really suck to be either.

But if I had to choose? Deaf, I suppose.

But god, that would suck.

i would probably choose blind, for one reason:
I have a blind cat, and had a deaf cat... note i still have the blind one, the deaf one didnt hear the car coming that hit it. But thats just me.

I guess i'd end up being one of the only ones choosing to be Blind.. I'm more into the music community- so i couldnt live without hearing it.

Deaf, without question. I'd crawl into a corner and die if I couldn't see, I appreciate seeing things more.
