About Me
- Name: sandegaye
- Location: Tellico Plains, Tennessee, United States
I am a spiritual being having a physical experience. I love delving into the inner world & learning all I can about why I'm here & where I'm going. My mother, now transitioned to another plane, was a Cherokee shaman. She taught me the meaning of 'Namaste'.. meaning 'I recognize the God in you', and 'Nokomis'.. meaning 'Walk in Beauty', a Navajo term, that tells us to walk in balance with all of earth. My father, also transitioned, was a fun-loving Irishman who taught me the joy of risktaking, traveling, & living life to its fullest. I have hopefully taken the best of their offerings in forming the 'me' I am today. I am the mother of six, grandmother of five, stepmother of 2 more & step-gram for 6 more. My cup is full & running over..;o) My goal is to live 'juicy'!

Hmmmmmmmm... if they have to be 'brain dead', I guess I'll take Britney's face..

December 2, 2005 -- Doctors who gave a French woman the world's first face transplant did not try normal reconstructive surgery first, violating the advice of a French government ethics panel, a surgeon familiar with the case said yesterday.
Dr. Laurent Lantieri also said he was concerned the patient may not be fit psychologically for the operation and its demands.
The 38-year-old woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, had surgery to replace her nose, lips and chin in Amiens on Sunday. The donor was a brain-dead patient.
Although the recipient was mauled by a dog in May, surgeons immediately sought a donor without trying to repair her face through conventional surgical methods, said Lantieri, a reconstructive surgeon at a Paris hospital.
"The ethics committee said this kind of transplant should never be considered as an emergency procedure," he said. "You cannot have informed consent."
