Hi @drstilesjlstermerrygold98
Wow what a question! And I really don’t know the answer. If you didn’t have any sensory receptors for touch, taste, smell, vision, hearing then you wouldn’t be able to experience the world. It doesn’t seem like that would stop you feeling happy for example, but it is hard to think of anything that could make you happy if you had no senses.
Tough question, I wonder what the other scientists think…

Hi there!
Great question. Personally I think you would still have feelings, but I don’t know the truth of it I’m afraid.What do you think?

thanks 4 answering, i think that we would still have feelings like guilt but we migjt not be able to experience it as well as we could now:)
what do ya think?
Suzi commented on :
I think you’re right. A lot of feelings we have are based on feedback from the outside world, so if you’re not getting the outside world input then you may have feelings, but you might not be able to understand what they mean!
Tim commented on :
I agree with both you and Suzi! How you interpret what your ‘feelings’ mean would be the hard part.
