If you HAD to choose, blind or deaf ?
I would go deaf. I would go insane if I can't see anything.

I'd have to agree with u on that, cuz hearing is one thing u can still b 100percent independant and live without. But being blind OMG i couldnt imagine not being able to see, or needing something or someone to help me get around.

Absolutely deaf. I've seen too many people who are losing their sight due to macular degeneration, and it's terribly depressing - my heart goes out to them. I just pray that a cure is found very soon - I'll bet that I have AT LEAST 10 friends whose parent(s) have/had it, and they're worried about themselves (yes, the tendency towards it is heriditary).

Deaf. I've seen both very close as I was growing up. It just seems to me that blind is much more limiting.

Deaf...although with the way my eyesight is, I may not have a choice in my advanced years. Blind just seems much more frustrating and limiting.

Blind......Music is such an important part of my core that to never hear it again would be hellacious....I can deal with not seeing...Hell, I wear glasses now...

I'm a musician, so I would rather go blind then deaf. Then again I'll probably end up deaf if I hang around marching bands long enough (which I don't intend to).

Blind.
Music is my soul and to lose it would kill me.

I would prefer going Deaf. I'm a visual learner and couldn't receive as much if I couldn't use my sight...furthermore, I'm fluent in American Sign Language, so I know there are ways to compensate for the Deafness.

Years ago, I would have answered blind because I love music so much. I still love music, but I don't see how I could function as a human being if I was blind. The learning curve would be too steep. If I had to choose, I would choose deaf, and not be happy about it one bit.
