Q1. Imagine that you live in a society where senses are commodities. You are asked to give up one of your senses (hearing, vision, taste, smell, or touch) for the greater good. Which one could you live without most easily? Visualize going about your normal morning routine (or other routine activity, e.g., a sport, a social event, celebrating a holiday) without this sense. Explain how you would adapt your life. What are some of the challenges you may face?
As usual, provide your prompt response and reply to at least two other classmates
