Which of the five senses do you believe is most important to survival?

GenelleBabee: Most people consider their sense of sight, as more important. Yes, the loss of sight is a tragedy, but life can go on. Loss of hearing, is just as bad but you can adjust. Loss your sense of smell, you will not smell but still get by. Loose your sense of taste, and food will be flavorless, but still you can get by. However, if you loose your sense of touch you also loose your sense of pain. You may be harming your own body, and not even know it because you cant feel anything. Science has shown that touching is necessary for life. Therefore, my answer is Touch. That is what is more important, than the rest of your senses.
