Whenever I see children struggling with defects, my heart shiver and have pity on them. You aren’t much familiar with the sol-called Mermaid syndrome, probably. Mermaid Syndrome, or Sirenomelia is a condition in which the two legs are joined together, making one leg in effect. It is usually accompanied by kidney dysfunction and bladder problems. Death occurs within one to two days of birth. There are three known survivors – Milagros Cerron, Tiffany York, and Shilioh Peppin. All 3 required extensive surgeries including transplants and bladder and bowel constructions and still have complications. It sounds cute, but Mermaid syndrome takes more than a few quick personal loans and some pills to live through.
