I'm Deaf, and I can tell you that it is so much better to be Deaf than blind, regardless of what the "great" Helen Keller may have said (more on that later). With our vision, we can do anything hearing people can do. We can drive cars, fly planes, work, marry, have kids, and so on. read more

If you lose your sight, you lose so much more. With sight, you can still communicate. You can still tell when someone is glad, sad, or mad, without one word being spoken. read more

A more interesting question is if you were to be born without sight or hearing which would be preferable to lose. I asked this question to an expert on the deaf and she told me that being born deaf created more problems to socialization and learning than being born blind. read more
