This is one tough question, my lady but since it's April 1st today (yeah, day to be foolin' around) then hopefully I'd be forgiven if I answer haphazardly.
Instead of choosing just one, I'd like to strike a bargain with you. I'd forego 70% of the memory and 30% of the tactile. This way, I still have 30% capacity to remember (I'd just limit it to the real hot dates!) and a whopping 70% capacity to feel (I don't need to feel the prick of needles anyways). |

How would I know what I feel if I have no memory of it?
So, I'd rather lose my capacity to feel. Being numb has its advantages. It liberates one from feeling negative emotions. One becomes devoid of anger...hatred...remorse for self and others.
But, surely, the memory of love will make one feel again. |

Arrrghhh ... I'd rather shoot myself in the foot but if really HAD to choose, I'd lose the memory then I'll just make new memories with my loved ones. Losing the capacity to feel (mentally and/or emotionally) would be like hell on earth for me. |

For me, I would choose the capacity to feel.
Simply because, I can't stand it if ever i have these impaired thinking so expect the presence of poor concentration and mental difficulty...:)
Add:
For clarification, I would rather lose my capacity to feel... |

i am a robot like, so i'd rather lose my capacity to feel and be someone filled with memories. someone who has nothing to fear.
and since my friend Nena has lost her memory, i promise to remind her everyday those moments forgotten (the "50 first dates" kinda like hehehe). perhaps, Nena would teach me the capacity to "smile" while she reminisces. |

I would rather loose my memory than my capacity to feel. Losing your sense of feeling is just like being a living dead. |

Would you sigh over the idea of losing the ability to feel if you are already stoic in the first place?
Hmmm.. I find your question rather difficult to imagine..if I feel but I can't remember, the feeling would make me remember right? But if I know I am indifferent, I can force myself to try to be compassionate, right? If I had to choose, I'll probably choose my memory.. |

nena would rather be uliyanin (forgetful) than manhid (unfeeling)...i'd rather feel the pain of sadness than remember what it's like to be unhappy. nena going deep, huh? |

capacity to feel... at least, I won't be sad anymore... |
|
wtf

If I were to live for a thousand more years then I would rather loose my memory so I don't have to be sad remembering those people I loved. |

When one loses memory, there is always someone else who could be more than willing to refresh it, so to speak, hoping that the juggling will bring back some, at least.
When one loses the capacity to feel, I feel that it could be more difficult to have it restored. |

Difficult question and not much of a choice to choose. Hmmm...maybe I'd sacrifice my memory for my capacity to feel.
People who suffer amnesia can still be happy even without the memories of their past or what their life was before. They can have a new life and still enjoy the warmth of the people who love them. Whereas if I lose my capacity to feel, what would my life be if I can't feel the warmth of loving arms around me? If I can't enjoy all the emotions that I would have felt if I was whole and complete? I will become a robot, not a human being, incapable of any feelings. |

when you say feel, do you mean physically or emotionally?
i'd rather lose my ability to feel because if i dont have my memory, i cant remember what i feel, right? |

I would rather lose my capacity to feel.
I can not imagine living without the menory of my childhood, growing up, memory of good times (and bad times) with friends. Of what good is it to feel, when you don't recall who you are feeling for?
When I am around with my friends, my memory of the goodtimes will be enough substitute for the warm feelings I would otherwise enjoy at that moment. |

My memory because if I wasn't able to feel, (emotionally) I'd never have any (good) memories. |

Tough question but interesting... i'd rather lose my memory. the capacity to feel allows you to realize for the moment situation regardless of the feelings. I don't want to live with just memories its like a movie that plays over and over, good thing if its a happy memory but what if the bad ones are kept -- feels like being punished everyday :-) |

I'd choose the capacity to feel.
I would like to be with my love ones and still be able to identify them... can still call their names... can still say my endearments to them even if I can't feel their love to me. With my memory still in place I can let them feel how I appreciate and love them.
Besides I have already felt their love before... I am sure I can still linger that in my memory.

My dear mother has Alzhiemers She still has feelings to a point . But at times doesnt know me .this can be painfull to the family . My prayer is this dreadfull ailment will soon be cured |

Neither.
If I lose my memory, what are the senses for except to feel things that are forever new because there will be no sensations to store away and every second is always a novelty.
And if I lose my capacity to feel, then memory is nothing more than a vacuum with nothing to store there.
In any case, I cease to be sentient and rational. |

what do you mean by capacity to feel?
would it be the sensation of touch or the ability to feel emotions?
feeling can be split up into two parts. emotions (happy sad etc) and our senses (see hear etc). when you touch something you can feel its there its the same thing as pain. |

They can take both, for all I care. Just dont hurt my "atis" tree.
Nah. I'd rather lose my memory, most of them are bitter, anyway.
If there's a chance at all, I'd rather not lose a shot at being happy, and feeling it. |

Capacity to feel - losing memory would mean you have no true meaning of self.
Linikoko - you are wrong. Retaining memory would mean you still have knowledge and how to perform basic fucntions. You'd rather have your capacity to feel than remember how to take a dump? |

Compacity to feel. As long as I can remember my past, remember how it used to feel, i'd be golden. |
