We are equipped with five senses: Sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch. The thought of losing any of them is frightening. Setting aside the question of aging, even the thought of only diminishing any of our senses is unsettling. So, the question is, if a faulty product caused you to suffer an impairment of one of your senses, what kind of compensation would be appropriate? During my teaching career, for no particular reason, I would sometimes pose this dilemma to my class: Suppose a madman has locked you in a room. He demands that you declare your two most valued senses.
