This has probably been done before, but I've been thinking about it a lot lately.
If you were forced to choose between being completely blind (completely, absolutely no sight) or completely deaf, which would you choose?

If you are deaf from birth, then you are also dumb (Can't talk).

So by the options I assume you mean suddenly becoming one.

I'm not sure, it you would be completely helpless if you were blind (in the real world you aren't daredevil), but deaf would mean no music, and weird talking.

If I had to choose, I would say deaf, because sight is just more useful.

I would rather be deaf. I couldn't stand not being able to see.

I would prefer to be blind, while I do like to be able to see very much. I really cant imagine my life without musics.

I choose blind. I wouldn't want to give up my precious musickz. And seeing by sense of touch is very pleasing if you catch my drift.

And all those "Deaf World" specials in ASL class kind of turned me off. I never knew deaf people were so damn whiny.

Deaf. Because you can fix your ears but you can't replace your eyes. There is some kind of technology which can support your hearing or something. Anyways I would like to see when crossing roads, lol.
