Dolores, there is absolutely nothing to worry about with a gas stove.
If there were to be some kind of leak, and that is highly unlikely,
you'd smell it and you could turn off whatever burner there was, or
you could get out of the house quickly.
Gas is, in my opinion, far more easy to cope with than electric, but
I know there are many who will disagree. I'll always choose gas, but
you should choose whatever you are most comfortable with as they both
have good points. However, I will say that gas turns on and off and
the flame is simple to set so you have just the right amount of
flame under your pan. You don't need to wait for the heat to adjust
as you do with electric.
My main point is, if you like one over the other, go with what you
are comfortable with, and don't choose one over the other out of
fear. They are both worthy choices, and blind people can use either with ease.

Hi all,
I'm remodeling my kitchen and thinking about getting either a gas or
electric stove. The new apartment i'm moving in to has a hook up for
gas, and that is the stove that is there now. But my family says it
is unsafe, they are afraid of the pilot light going out. I am
nervous about this too, but like gas for the all the audio feedback
you get. Does anyone have any thoughts? Have any of you used gas
stoves? Do you prefer gas or electric? Thank you in advance for any help.
Cooking with kindness,
Dolores
