By the basic characteristics that determine "living" yes you would. Things like the need to eat, breathe, procreate and what have you. In that respect you're alive, but if you didn't have any of the 5 senses, then it'd be a pointless life.

Mind you, if you were born without any of the 5 senses, I don't think you'd make it very long. Still, it's something to think about.
What the crap? Correct me if I've misunderstood, but are you saying that if someone is missing any one of the 5 senses, then their life is going to be shorter or less profitable. In which case Ray Charles is the first one that comes to mind.

Whatever you do, don't eat limes. A friend of mine ate a lime once and BAM!! Two years later. Herpes.
