  • I would rather lose my hearing. It would be horrible for me to lose a limb.
  • I'll get a new left leg. Can you repeat that?
  • I say my hearing, because I don't listen anyway.
  • I would get rid of one of my arms, they always seem in the way when I am trying to sleep.
  • My left arm. I suppose the greatest difficulty without it would be I couldn't type as fast =P
  • Most of what I do I could find a way to manage with just one leg.... but my work and hobbies would absolutely require two hands, and I don't think I would adapt well to losing an eye. Although, I don't think adapting to that would be significantly harder than losing a leg. With that in mind, it would come down to my ability to get a prosthetic leg or not.
  • Probably my eye.
  • I don't know. Either arm or leg. I think it would be terrible to lose an eye...eeewww!
  • I lost my left leg and eye when I was 12, after a car hit me while I was walking home. Honestly, losing my eye was no big deal at all. It has hardly had any impact on my life at all. I sometimes miss the cup when I pour things, and ping pong and threading needles are hard because I don't have binocular depth perception, but otherwise I never think about it. I guess the only time I am aware of it is when other people notice that my eye is fake. There is no physical discomfort at all. Losing my leg was harder. My stump is almost boneless and using a prosthesis is not as practical as crutches. I never wear a prosthetic. The worst problem is the way that other people relate to me as a one legged woman who looks different, and the second worst problem is that carrying things is issue. People treat me differently because I have a disability,and some people are really uncomfortable with my one-leggedness for some reason. It's sort of a social barrier. Carrying things is hard because I can only carry a few things in my hands, and taking off my crutches, getting my backpack off, putting thins in it, and getting the backpack and crutches in place again is annoying. I sometimes shop with a wheelchair so my hands are free, but I hate using one. I do have phantom pain sometimes, and my back will eventually be painful and crooked from years on crutches. Basically though I am really OK. I don't really think of myself as disabled and do just about everything I would need or want to do except shoveling snow and mowing the lawn. IN some ways I am glad these things happened, because they made me unique and who I am. I am proud of my body and how I look. I don;t mind standing out in a crowd, as long as I am not discriminated against or treated like a child. The funny thing is that I would feel awful about losing an arm instead of my leg or eye. I can't imagine the feeling of loss and all the things that would be hard or impossible. To me losing my eye and my leg are easy,and I don't see them as problems. Losing an arm sounds horrendous. I guess that just shows how the unknown is much more frightening than the unknown. Interesting question.
  • An eye, at least I could still do everything just as well as I could before I lost it!
  • Ok I totally just posted an answer to this like 5 minutes ago but when some douche flagged it as a duplicate my answer didn't go over for some reason. It was a really long and detailed answer (I chose leg by the way) and now I am pissed off cos who gives a shit if it's a duplicate??? The question I answered didn't even include hearing as a choice so I don't even see how it's the same anyway!!!
  • Hearing, well because it's the easiest to fix with today's technology. Full limb regeneration might be a few decades away.
  • I couldn't go without sight or hearing. Maybe an arm? I really don't know what would be easiest, cause they'd all be hard to lose.
