Just one look at the picture and you know it has been put together by some Photoshop designer. There is absolutely no way this can be true.
Anyway, since it’s trending on Facebook, we have decided to let you in on it.
Here is the photo…Let’s know what you think.

Sirenomelia
Sirene (Sirenomelia), Lyon natural history and anatomy museum, France.
Sirenomelia, alternatively known as Mermaid Syndrome, is a very rare congenital deformity in which the legs are fused together, giving them the appearance of a mermaid's tail.
This condition is found in approximately one out of every 100,000 live births[1] (about as rare as conjoined twins) and is usually fatal within a day or two of birth because of complications associated with abnormal kidney and urinary bladder development and function. More than half the cases of sirenomelia result in stillbirth and this condition is 100 times more likely to occur in identical twins than in single births or fraternal twins.[2] It results from a failure of normal vascular supply from the lower aorta in utero.[citation needed] Maternal diabetes has been associated with caudal regression syndrome and sirenomelia,[3] although a few sources question this association.[4].
VACTERL-H is an expanded form of the VACTERL association that concludes that this diagnosis is a less severe form of sirenomelia.[5] The disorder was formerly thought to be an extreme case of caudal regression syndrome; however, it was reclassified to be considered a separate condition.

•It is also known as sirenomelia, as mentioned earlier.
•It is such a rare birth defect that only one in every 70,000 births is known to have it.
•When a baby is born with this syndrome, it is very lucky, for the one fact that there are only over 300 reported live births of such babies.
•More often than not, the condition proves fatal for the baby. In fact, very few survive it even after surgery.
•Half the cases are usually seen as stillbirths, while it is hundred times more likely to occur in identical twins.
•This disorder was initially mistaken with Caudal Regression Syndrome, but was later reiterated as an independent sirenomelia mermaid syndrome.
I know that the photo of the found “mermaid” is probably a hoax but think of other posibilities.
I’m one of the girls that wanted to be a mermaid when i was growing up, not a priencess, so maybe there is still hope that real mermaids exist.
