I agree with those who are saying that physical sensation could be simulated by stimulating the brain. As to whether I could live as intellect without any sensation, emotion or feeling...I don't know. No human has ever lived in such a state. Perhaps feeling and sensation are actually inseperable from what we know as consciousness.
You could also ask whether a person would conversely desire a life of great physical and emotional pleasure devoid of any sense of intellectual curiosity or access to knowledge and wisdom.
