Megan poses the question: "If one of our senses stopped working, how would the others be affected?"
We know that when a person goes blind or is born blind that there sense of hearing can be hightened. When a sense is weakened or depleted for one reason or another the other senses seem to pick up the slack. In the case of scents, I feel that it would be different. The smells of foods for example, have an impact on how something tastes to us. So, say that you lost your sense of smell, instead of your sense of taste increasing wouldn't it become more stunted? All of our senses depend on one another in some way and, depending on which sense is defective, the other senses may be boosted or weakened.
So my question...which senses do you believe it would be the hardest to live without?
