Nah. Not everyone. Most days, I think I'd say no, I wouldn't take
sight if I had the opportunity. Never had it, and I don't know if I
could cope with it. Now if I could turn it off, that might be
OK. About the only thing that bugs me about being blind is not being
able to drive, and that truly is the only real thing I wish were very
different. OK, I mean, apart from CAPTCHA. But anyway, there aren't
many days at all that I think I would take such a sight-giving thingy
were it offered to me.
