Life without pain

Imaging living in a world where you do not feel pain. I found this article on CNN.com, and found t to be very interesting. Many of us hear of common disorders, but its the disorders that are not common and we do not know much about. I could not imaging what not feeling hot, or cold, or what being in physical pain would be like. Growing up we are all told, do not touch that or you will burn yourself, eventually we do touch something thats hot and we realize, hey that did hurt and we learn. Looking at this there maybe other dangers not only to the person living with the disorder, but those around him. hitting someone else, not possibly knowing how being struck with a hard object may cause physical pain to another. One thing the article leaves me to wonder is, can they feel at all, do these people have the sensory of touch?
